Modelling analysis embodies drastic transition among global potential natural vegetations in face of changing climate

open access: yesForest Ecosystems
Potential natural vegetation (PNV) is a valuable reference for ecosystem renovation and has garnered increasing attention worldwide. However, there is limited knowledge on the spatio-temporal distributions, transitional processes, and underlying ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Estimation of Potential Natural Vegetation by Means of GIS

open access: yesJournal of the Japanese Institute of Landscape Architects, 1992
自然環境の保全のために, 潜在自然植生を推定し, 本来の自然植生域の分布を把握することは重要な意味を持つ。従来, 潜在自然植生を推定する手法として遷移系列を用いた二次植生からの推定, 自然植生と土壌断面との対応関係を用いた推定, 土地利用などからの推定が用いられてきたが, 客観的な推定が行われてきたとは言えない面があった。本研究では環境要因と自然植生の対応関係を統計的手法を用いてモデル化し, 得られたモデルにより潜在自然植生を推定する方法を提示する。データとして国土数値情報などの数値地理情報, モデル化手法として多項ロジットを用いて, 日本列島の主要な自然植生についてモデル化を行い, 潜在自然植生を推定した。

Efficacy of Intermittent Theta‐Burst Stimulation for Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging evidence suggests that low‐frequency neural oscillations are dynamically regulated by consciousness levels, with the recovery of low cortical activity potentially serving as a neurophysiological substrate for conscious emergence. Targeted enhancement of these low‐frequency rhythms in patients with disorders of consciousness

Reference vegetation for restoration? Three vegetation maps compared across 76 nature reserves in Uganda and Kenya

open access: yesEcosphere
Forest and landscape restoration are increasingly popular nature‐based solutions to mitigate climate change and safeguard biodiversity. Restoration planning and monitoring implies that a reference ecosystem has been defined to which the restored site can

High‐Performance Bio‐Glue From the Berries of a Parasitic Plant

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report a fully bio‐based adhesive derived primarily from a (poly)saccharide extract obtained from the berries of the hemi‐parasitic plant mistletoe (Viscum album), supplemented with tannic and malic acid without any further chemical functionalization.
