Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Multi‐Habitat Landscape Promotes Microbial Diversity: Insights from the Traditional Agricultural Heritage and the Global Trend

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The 2500‐year‐old Mulberry‐dyke and Fish‐pond agricultural heritage system reveals how interconnected habitats foster microbial diversity. Multi‐habitat landscapes enhance microbial diversity through cross‐habitat dispersal and adaptive trait convergence. Globally, regions with diverse habitats support a greater diversity of soil microbiomes.

Global Diversification Rates of Ferns Across Spatial and Climatic Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Diversification rates of fern genera across the phylogeny. Abstract Geographic patterns of diversity in any group of plants are the result of the interplay of environmental conditions and the evolutionary dynamics of the respective plant group. Here, the geographic distribution of current mean diversification rates (MDR) is explored at the genus level ...
