Benchmarking gut microbiome indices within and across populations

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We compared 10 widely used gut microbiome indices in 12,561 American Gut Project participants and 10 external cohorts, testing how well each distinguished people with healthy lifestyles, responded to 79 environmental factors, and associated with 14 chronic conditions. No single index performed best on all three tasks.

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.
