The impact of flooding on aquatic ecosystem services [PDF]
, 2018 Flooding is a major disturbance that impacts aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystem services that they provide. Predicted increases in global flood risk due to land use change and water cycle intensification will likely only increase the frequency and ...

Depth‐Dependence Changes in Soil Stoichiometry in China's Croplands Over the Past Four Decades
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals depth‐dependent changes in soil C:N:P ratios across Chinese croplands over four decades. Changes in stoichiometry vary markedly between topsoil and subsoil, with initial soil C:N:P ratios playing a key role in determining their trajectories.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Recent research has shown that biodegradable metals based on zinc (Zn) may be used as guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane materials. This study examines their viability from the standpoints of material science and biology, reports on the state of research on Zn‐based GBR membranes, and suggests specific development plans based on the potential and ...

Ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies misunderstood without landscape history
Ecology and Society, 2016 Dramatic changes in ecosystem services have motivated recent work characterizing their interactions, including identifying trade-offs and synergies. Although time is arguably implicit in these ideas of trade-offs and synergies (e.g., temporal dynamics or

Archetypes of land transformations and trajectories of ecosystem services in mountains. [ID660] [PDF]
, 2019 Based on a synthesis of 51 cases of temporal changes in land use and ecosystem services within mountain landscapes, we analyze how changes in land-use intensity influence the supply of ten key services and we describe six typical archetypes. Our analysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ruminant meat is widely appreciated for its distinctive flavor. Lipids play a central role in influencing meat flavor, yet their genetic and biochemical basis remains largely unexplored. Here, a comprehensive lipid genetic map of sheep muscle is constructed and 20 candidate genes potentially modulating lipid levels are identified to provide a roadmap ...

Evaluating the sustainability of impounded river systems and the cost-effectiveness of dam projects: An ecosystem services approach [PDF]
In recent times, there has been increasing demand in the Canterbury region of New Zealand for the abstraction of water from rivers. The impact of this demand has lead to unacceptable minimum river flows and has adversely affected river ecology.

Integration of Genetic and Imaging Data for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis and Interpretation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.AlzCLIP is a novel contrastive learning framework that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiles and MRI‐derived imaging features into a unified representation space to improve Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis and interpretation. By achieving superior diagnostic accuracy and revealing key genetic and structural contributors to AD risk,
