Advanced Science, EarlyView.The continental‐scale study reveals that soil phosphorus strongly predicts the richness of soil pathogenic oomycetes in Chinese grasslands, while precipitation and plant species richness drive their absolute abundance; modeling predicts ≈42% of grassland areas may face elevated oomycete disease risk under future climate scenarios, especially in typical

The effects of global change on soil faunal communities: a meta-analytic approach [PDF]
Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2019 Human impacts are causing an unprecedented change of biodiversity across scales. To quantify the nature and degree of the biodiversity change, there have been a number of meta-analysis studies investigating the effects of global change drivers (land use,

Lithology- and climate-controlled soil aggregate-size distribution and organic carbon stability in the Peruvian Andes [PDF]
SOIL, 2020 Recent studies indicate that climate change influences soil mineralogy by altering weathering processes and thus impacts soil aggregation and organic carbon (SOC) stability. Alpine ecosystems of the Neotropical Andes are characterized by high SOC stocks,

Darkness visible: reflections on underground ecology [PDF]
, 2005 1 Soil science and ecology have developed independently, making it difficult for ecologists to contribute to urgent current debates on the destruction of the global soil resource and its key role in the global carbon cycle.

Mixed‐Dimensional Floating Gate Phototransistors for Mixed‐Modal In‐Sensor Reservoir Computing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Designing bio‐inspired multisensory neuromorphic devices holds significant importance for low‐power and high‐efficiency computing. Here, the authors introduce a floating‐gate phototransistor based on the mixed‐dimensional heterostructure of 0D‐CsPbBr3 QDs and 2D‐MoS2 few layers.

Stimulation of soil biota through organic waste recycling for sustainable oil palm cultivation. [P2.075] [PDF]
, 2014 Sixteen million hectares of oil palm has been planted within the last few decades with dramatic changes in land-use. Despite this, soil biodiversity in plantations has been little investigated.

Stacking Interventions Enhances Carbon Removals and Profitability of Livestock Production Systems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study indicates that stacking multiple interventions aimed at maximising soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and enteric methane (CH4) reductions realizes greater abatement and profit do any singular intervention, especially when SOC sequestration accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) mitigation. Abstract While
