Evaluation and redesign of the primers for detecting nitrogen cycling genes in environments

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1976-1989, September 2022., 2022
Abstract A better understanding of how nitrogen (N) cycling genes are involved in ecological processes is one of the crucial areas of microbial ecology. Currently, most molecular biological techniques investigating N cycling genes in the environment heavily rely on the accuracy of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers; however, their specificity ...

Environment regimes play an important role in structuring trait‐ and taxonomy‐based temporal beta diversity of riverine diatoms

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 6, Page 1442-1454, June 2022., 2022
Our study provides a new perspective into temporal beta diversity of daily riverine diatom communities. The results highlight the importance of taxonomic and functional temporal beta diversity and its decomposition, which is co‐driven by hydrology, nutrient and metal ions. We provide further evidence that environment regimes (e.g.

Organ‐specific ozone and nitrogen legacies strengthen substrate control over litter decomposition

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2548-2559, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N) deposition are concurrent atmospheric changes that strongly influence terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their combined effects on below‐ground decomposition remain poorly understood.

Comparison of Olanzapine versus Other Second‐Generation Antipsychotics in the Improvement of Insight and Medication Discontinuation Rate in Schizophrenia

General Psychiatry, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 178-187, July 2018., 2018
Background In the last decade, olanzapine became widely used in mental health service worldwide even after being criticized for its metabolic side effects. Patients with schizophrenia on olanzapine were usually found to stay on their medications longer than the other second‐generation antipsychotics (SGAs) except clozapine.

Emerging MBenes for Energy Technologies

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The escalating global demand for sustainable energy is driving the search for transformative materials that transcend the limitations of conventional systems. Two‐dimensional (2D) transition metal borides (MBenes) have recently emerged as a compelling class, distinguished by unique electronic structures, tunable surface chemistry, and ...

Community Assembly Mechanism of Woody Plants at Different Successional Stages in Karst Areas Based on Functional Traits and Phylogeny

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study reveals a shift in woody plant community assembly from competitive exclusion in early succession to habitat filtering in later stages within karst areas. Environmental distance (80.54%) contributed significantly more than geographical distance (9.95%), providing strong quantitative evidence that niche processes, particularly habitat ...

Superior Abrasibility of YSZ(ESP)/BN@ZrO2‐Polyester Composite Sealing Coating Reinforcing With Hybrid Micron/Nanometer Multiscaled Pore Structure

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Composite materials hold significant potential for abrasive sealing, yet composite materials used for abrasive sealing fall short in service durability under extreme environments. Here, a controllable strategy for adjusting pore structure is proposed, aiming to design a YSZ(ESP)/BN@ZrO2‐polyester coating with hybrid micron/nanometer ...

MXene‐Based Materials Contribute Better Alkali Metal–Chalcogen Batteries: Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Alkali metal–chalcogen batteries (AMCBs) are one of the most promising next‐generation energy storage systems because of their high energy density and reasonably low cost. However, the practical application of AMCBs is severely hindered by the volume expansion of the chalcogen cathode, the shuttle effect of polychalcogenides, and unstable ...

Plant functional trait dissimilarity drives plant mixture effects on fine root biomass and trait variations

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 764-776, January 2026.
Summary Fine roots are critical for soil resource uptake, yet how declining plant diversity alters fine root biomass (RB) and traits remains unclear. We tested how plant functional trait dissimilarity in shade tolerance, drought tolerance, growth rate, and nitrogen‐fixation ability drives variation in root attributes.
