Seasonal dynamics of soil microbiome in response to dry–wet alternation along the Jinsha River Dry-hot Valley

BMC Microbiology
Background Soil microorganisms play a key role in nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and other important ecosystem processes, yet their response to seasonal dry–wet alternation remains poorly understood.

Civilising pedagogies: An ethnography of instructional and regulative discourses in government schools in Delhi, India

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the years, surveys and data on learning outcomes have consistently shown inadequate levels of learning in schools in India, witnessing a further decline in recent years. Studies within the sociology of education have consistently highlighted the overarching role of class and caste on learning outcomes in schools. Neoliberal policy reforms

Change Characteristics and Driving Factors of Molybdenum Content in Purple Soil from Southwestern China

Soil Systems
Molybdenum (Mo) is an important trace nutrient element in the soil and plays a significant role in maintaining plant growth. However, there are scarce studies on soil Mo content change and its driving factors based on historical soil samples.

Quality Enhancement of Glacier Velocity Time Series via Phase-Space Reconstruction

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Accurate estimation of glacier surface velocity using the pixel offset tracking small baseline subset (PO-SBAS) technique depends critically on the quality of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) offset observations. However, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of

Sudden Shift From Drought to Flood May Be Infrequent in Debris‐Flow Events in Southwest China: Evidence From Antecedent Hydrometeorological Fingerprints

Atmospheric Science Letters
Debris flows are one of the most destructive mass‐movement processes. Previous studies have shown that debris‐flow occurrence may be related to antecedent higher temperatures or droughts, yet a comprehensive and objective regional understanding is still ...

Bank Retreat Mechanisms Driven by Debris Flow Surges: A Parameterized Model Based on the Results of Physical Experiments

Water Resources Research
Lateral erosion is a critical factor that influences the formation and amplification of debris flows. However, our understanding of the bank retreat process in debris flow channels is limited, which limits the evaluation of debris flow magnitudes and the

Improving the learning experience in an undergraduate course on microbial metabolism by using an illustrated story

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 131-141, March/April 2025.
Abstract In the classroom, metabolism is often approached and received as a mundane exercise in memorization. Teaching metabolism also faces the challenge of negative perceptions that can impede learning. We sought to improve the learning experience in an undergraduate lecture course on microbial metabolism by implementing an illustrated story that ...

Phylogenomics and Biogeography of the Eastern Asian–Eastern North American Disjunct Genus Hylodesmum (Fabaceae)

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Integrating data from plastid genomes, nrDNA, and 353 low‐copy nuclear genes, this study establishes a robust phylogenetic framework for Hylodesmum. This framework supports a taxonomic revision recognizing 18 species and reveals a complex pattern of bidirectional EA–ENA dispersal, with mammals as a plausible dispersal agent. ABSTRACT Phylogenomics with

Historical Climatic Fluctuations and Geographic Isolation Shaped the Phylogeographic Patterns of a Mycoheterotrophic Species in Subtropical China

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Plastome and microsatellite data reveal strong population structure but low genetic diversity in the fully mycoheterotrophic herb Burmannia nepalensis across subtropical China. Multiple glacial refugia and recent population decline highlight the roles of geographic isolation, climatic history, and human disturbance in shaping the biodiversity of ...
