Impacts of groundwater storage variability on soil salinization in a semi-arid agricultural plain

Geoderma
Soil salinization, which is significantly influenced by groundwater storage dynamics, leads to reduced land productivity, loss of arable land, and degradation of vegetation, thereby posing a substantial threat to global food security and ecosystem ...

The Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership: An Example of Science Applied to Societal Needs [PDF]

, 2009
Northern Eurasia, the largest landmass in the northern extratropics, accounts for ~20% of the global land area. However, little is known about how the biogeochemical cycles, energy and water cycles, and human activities specific to this carbon-rich, cold

Rotation of Crystal Seed During Early Stages of Growth Reveals the Anisotropy of Glass Matrix

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that crystal seeds can spontaneously rotate within glass at high temperatures due to anisotropic forces at the glass‐crystal interface. This rotation challenges the long‐held view of glass as an isotropic solid and highlights how atomic‐scale inhomogeneities can influence crystal growth and microstructure of LiNbO3‐

Maternal Preconception Antibiotic Exposure Disrupts Microbial Succession: A Transgenerational Risk for Offspring Gut Mucosal Immaturity and Colitis Susceptibility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that maternal antibiotic exposure prior to conception disrupts intergenerational gut microbial succession. By enhancing maternal‐offspring microbial transmission, altering microbial developmental trajectories and increasing selective pressures during community assembly, these disturbances lead to persistent gut mucosal immaturity and

Gemella morbillorum Promotes Colorectal Carcinogenesis: LPBDCP‐Mediated Invasion Activates Ras Signaling and Destabilizes p53

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. A global fecal metagenomic analysis identified Gemella morbillorum as a key contributor to the CRC‐associated microbiota. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that Gemella morbillorum is enriched in CRC tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues.

Diversity Patterns of Domestic Herbivore Viruses in China Reveal Transmission Dynamics with Disease Management Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.
