Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

微生物降解硝基芳烃及其卤代衍生物的研究进展

, 2020
硝基芳烃化合物作为一种重要的化工原料,广泛应用于医药、染料、农药等化工产品的合成。在给人类社会带来空前的物质繁荣的同时,其造成的环境污染问题也成为人类社会面临的重要挑战之一。微生物在这些环境污染物的降解中起着重要的作用。近几十年,环境微生物工作者对微生物降解硝基芳香污染物的各个步骤,包括趋化感应、分解代谢及生物修复进行了大量的研究工作,获得了丰富的知识。本文综述了硝基芳烃及其卤代衍生物的微生物代谢途径、代谢机理、趋化及修复研究进展,并对本领域的研究进行了展望,有助于全面认知硝基芳烃污染物的微生物降解过程,

Land use overrides climatic controls on soil organic nitrogen transformations: Contrasting responsiveness between forest and cropland ecosystems

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil organic nitrogen (SON) transformation is critical for global nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity, yet how its responsiveness to climate change differs across diverse land use types remains poorly resolved.

Developmental plasticity drives converge nt shifts in phosphorus acquisition strategies towards root phosphatase activity in Moso bamboo under nitrogen addition

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is a major driver of global change. However, its effects on the developmental plasticity of plant nutrient strategies remain poorly understood.

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

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
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.

When and why to give shorebirds a head start

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.
