Riparian forest buffers support biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and food webs in human‐modified landscapes, and dampen land‐use and climate stressors (sediments, nutrients, thermal maxima), motivating their wider use in management. These outcomes were regulated by the presence or size of mostly small, mature buffers and sometimes by proximity among

ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Human RNase 7 is known to exert antimicrobial activity in epithelial tissues. Here, using SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG, neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines, respectively, we found that RNase 7 enhances immune responses to LPS stimulation by reducing the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and ROS.

Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition?
The forest floor (FF) is a key component of carbon, nutrient, and water cycling and represents the most biologically active part of forest soils. Despite its importance, its response to environmental change and forest management remains insufficiently studied.

Terrestrial Arthropod Responses to Arctic Cryosphere Degradation
Changes in Arctic snow and ice are impacting terrestrial arthropods—for example, thinner snowpacks alter phenological synchrony and soil fauna survival; thawing permafrost increases decomposition, and glacial ice loss leads to the disappearance of adapted specialists; sea ice decline will have many indirect impacts for arthropods.
