Simulated Root Exudation Gradient Reveals Dosage‐Dependent Carbon Sequestration in Desertification Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root exudates serve as a key driver for the restoration of soil organic carbon (SOC), particularly in aeolian desertification ecosystems where aboveground litter retention is limited. While Salix cupularis is widely planted as an effective pioneer shrub for ecological rehabilitation on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, how the quantity of its root ...

The Aridity Threshold of Soil Organic Carbon Density Along the Climate Aridity Gradient in the Alpine Ecosystem of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon density (SOCD) is a key indicator for evaluating the stability of soil carbon pools, especially in alpine ecosystems that are sensitive to climate change. However, research on the response of SOCD to different aridity gradients is still limited. Therefore, we conducted extensive sampling along different aridity gradients of

Effects of all-trans retinoic acid and oxygen concentration on the proliferation and differentiation of subcutaneous adipocytes in yak

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) regulates the hypoxic adaptation of yak subcutaneous adipocytes through a dose-dependent regulation.
