How to Deal With Seafloor Marine Litter: An Overview of the State-of-the-Art and Future Perspectives

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Marine litter is a significant and growing pollutant in the oceans. In recent years, the number of studies and initiatives trying to assess and tackle the global threat of marine litter has grown exponentially.

Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.

Relative effects of climate and litter traits on decomposition change with time, climate and trait variability

Journal of Ecology, 2020
Climate and litter quality drive litter decomposition, but there is currently little consensus on their relative importance, likely because studies differ in the duration, the climatic gradients and variability in litter‐trait values. Understanding these

mGluR5 in ECCCK to BLA Circuit Modulates Depressive‐Like Phenotypes through CCK Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dysregulation of mGluR5 and CCK signaling contributes to major depressive disorder, yet circuit‐level mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the ECCCK→BLA pathway is identified as a critical regulator of affective behavior. mGluR5 modulates synaptic function and CCK signaling within this circuit, controlling stress susceptibility and depressive‐like states ...

Efficacy of a bacterial bedding conditioner in the reduction of footpad lesions in broilers

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Footpad dermatitis is a multifactorial condition that affects broiler welfare. We aimed to evaluate whether a bacterial compound sprinkled on the litter could have a positive effect on the formation of footpad lesions (FPL), a trial was conducted under ...

Tracking of [14C]Polystyrene Nanoplastics in Pregnant Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates [14C]polystyrene nanoplastic ([14C]PS) translocation in late‐stage pregnant mice after intranasal (0.5 mg of [14C]PS on GD12, GD14, and GD16, n = 6) and intravenous administration (1.5 mg of [14C]PS on GD16, n = 6). 14C‐radiolabel allows quantitative tracking of unmodified polystyrene nanoplastics.

Effects of graphene oxide plus external bacterial agents on accelerating poplar leaf-litter decomposition in saline–alkali soil

Frontiers in Soil Science
Poplar trees and saline–alkali soil commonly occur in northern China, especially around the Datong district in northern Shanxi. To better utilize this type of soil, it is important to know how to neutralize saline–alkali conditions and how poplar leaves ...

Paternal Caffeine Exposure Programs Offspring Stress Vulnerability via Sperm Dlk1‐Dio3 Imprinting‐Directed Remodeling of a Novel Neural Circuit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study elucidates that paternal preconception stress can drive offspring hyperresponsivity of the stress system via hypomethylation of a specific DNA region in sperm. This key link is confirmed in a cohort of prospective fathers: the epigenetic alteration is associated with elevated stress hormone levels.
