Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

Natural Anthraquinone‐Like Compound Extracted from Green Husk of Walnut Improves Photocatalytic H2O2 Production Catalyzed by TiO2 Nanoparticles

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
In this work, a novel biomolecule/semiconductor hybrid catalyst was prepared by loading anthraquinone‐liked juglone onto anatase TiO2. This catalyst exhibited high photocatalytic activity for H2O2 production. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a vital oxidant with broad industrial applications, and its production via photocatalysis represents a highly ...

Biomass and catabolic diversity of microbial communities with long-term restoration, bare fallow and cropping history in Chinese Mollisols

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2007
Microbial biomass and community catabolic diversities at three depths (0-10 cm, 20-30 cm, and 40-50 cm) in Chinese Mollisols as influenced by long-term managements of natural restoration, cropping and bare fallow were investigated.

Survival of the soil microbial biomass at elevated temperatures

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1990
Abstract A grassland soil was incubated for 240 days at either 15. 25 or 35°C. Changes in soil microbial biomass were monitored throughout the incubations in three ways: from soil ATP content, by the fumigation-extraction method and by a new version of the fumigation-extraction method in which carbohydrate released by fumigation is measured, rather ...
