The gut microbiota of Brandt’s vole under varying population densities reveals contrasting patterns in the natural environment

The population density of rodents fluctuates due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, inducing density-dependent effects on organisms and their habitats. The gut microbiota of herbivores plays a pivotal role in digestion, immunity, environmental adaptation, and host fitness. Crowd...

Stellera chamaejasme encroachment enhances plant carbon density but drives vertical soil organic carbon redistribution in degraded typical steppe during the early growing season

Abstract Background The expansion of poisonous weed Stellera chamaejasme resulting from unreasonable grazing practices is altering plant composition and soil properties in degraded grasslands in Inner Mongolia. However, the impacts of S. chamaejasme encroachment on plant carbon d...
