Effects of Natural Polysaccharides on the Gut Microbiota Related to Human Metabolic Health. [PDF]
The graphical abstract illustrates the role of polysaccharides extracted from various natural raw materials (such as mushrooms, marine organisms, fruits, and vegetables) in modulating the gut microbiota. The process begins with the extraction and purification of polysaccharides, followed by assessing their structure‐activity relationship. Upon entering

Abstract Soil organic matter (SOM) forms along a continuum from individual particles, pores, and aggregates to litter–soil profiles and larger ecosystems such as forests. However, forest management of SOM stocks and the carbon therein requires knowledge on which processes and factors at which scales determine SOM formation from forest biomass.

Abstract Cork oak landscapes are fascinating ecosystems, historically managed for cork extraction. The persistence in this habitat of many hollow veteran trees provides suitable micro‐habitats for saproxylic beetles. We investigated the saproxylic beetle community of two isolated cork oak woodlands of central Italy with different degree of recovery ...
