Short-term thinning alters labile soil phosphorus fractions and is associated with microbial alpha diversity and phosphatase activity in subtropical conifer plantations

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionPlantations play important roles in ecosystem functions but long-term high-density management can limit nutrient cycling. Phosphorus is a key limiting nutrient in subtropical forest soils due to strong fixation by Fe/Al oxides.

Much more than their fangs: Macroscopic anatomy of the brain of Bothrops moojeni Hoge 1966 (Squamata, Serpentes, Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

Camellia oleifera Litter Interacts with Nitrogen and Biochar to Modulate N₂O and CO₂ Emissions: A Biphasic Acidification Mechanism

Agriculture
Excessive N application in Camellia oleifera plantations exacerbates soil acidification and N2O emissions, intensified by the input of Al-accumulating litter.

Segmental composition and nerve distribution of the brachial plexus in Galictis cuja

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Galictis cuja is a neotropical mustelid with terrestrial locomotor habits, yet the anatomy of its brachial plexus has remained undescribed. This study characterizes the origin, organization, and distribution of the brachial plexus nerves in 15 adult specimens (30 antimeres).

Soil Fungal Communities and Enzyme Activities along Local Tree Species Diversity Gradient in Subtropical Evergreen Forest

, 2021
The majority of studies have found that an increase in tree species diversity can increase the productivity of forest stands thanks to complimentary effects with enhanced resource use efficiency or selection effects; however, it is unclear how tree ...

Deciphering the Palimpsest: Chronological Uncertainty and the Interpretation of Mining Landscapes at Písečný vrch (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the Písečný vrch (Czech Republic), a site exploited for quartz mining in both prehistoric times and the 20th century. Due to their morphological similarity across all mining periods, the differentiation between pits with archaeological potential and recent ones is challenging.

Experimental evidence for a phylogenetic Janzen–Connell effect in a subtropical forest

Ecology Letters, 2011
Ecology Letters (2011)AbstractObservational evidence increasingly suggests that the Janzen–Connell effect extends beyond the species boundary. However, this has not been confirmed experimentally. Herein, we present both observational and experimental evidence for a phylogenetic Janzen–Connell effect. In a subtropical forest in Guangdong province, China,

Functional Diversity and Oleaginous Potential of Fungal Strains From Hawaiian Soil Ecosystems

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungi represent an important but underexplored resource for microbial lipid production, including nutritionally valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids. Hawaiian soils, shaped by volcanic parent materials and strong environmental gradients, provide a unique setting for discovering functionally diverse fungal strains with distinct metabolic traits.
