Temporal dynamics of blue and green virtual water trade networks [PDF]

Global food security increasingly relies on the trade of food commodities. Freshwater resources are essential to agricultural production and are thus embodied in the trade of food commodities, referred to as "virtual water trade." Agricultural production

Insights into community profiles, environmental influence, and assembly mechanisms of oyster-associated bacteriome from Yueqing Bay, China via absolute quantitation by metabarcoding

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundOyster populations create new habitats, maintain productivity, improve water quality by removing excess nutrients in coastal environments, and provide a source of animal protein. More importantly, their associated bacteriome is likely a primary
