Differences in Dust Emission and Near‐Surface Transport Patterns Among Three Surface Substrate Types

ABSTRACT Soil wind erosion is a major driver of atmospheric dust emissions and land degradation. Many studies have examined dust release from different substrates, but differences in methods and units still limit quantitative understanding of how surface conditions and wind joint...

Short-Term Simulated NH4+/NO3− Inputs Reorganize Soil Microbial Communities and Modify N-Cycling Functional Potential in Temperate Forests

Forest soil nitrogen (N) turnover and nitrous oxide (N2O) release are strongly influenced by atmospheric N deposition. Although the effects of individual inorganic N species on soil biogeochemistry are well documented, the consequences of changing their relative supply for N2O fo...

Non-monotonic response of net dust deposition kinetics to low wind speeds

Abstract. Dry deposition is a major sink for mineral dust, yet its behavior under weak winds remains poorly constrained and is often parameterized monotonically with wind speed. Here we quantify size-resolved dust deposition kinetics in a large closed-circuit recirculating wind t...

Aggregate size regulates soil carbon priming through divergent microbial CN acquisition strategies

Soil aggregates create heterogeneous microenvironments that influence soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover and microbial communities. However, how aggregate size regulates priming effects (PE) through microbial life-history strategies and C N acquisition pathways remains unclear. W...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of landrace ‘Huangzhou’ provides insights into high cellulose accumulation in radish

<title>Abstract</title> Radish ( <italic>Raphanus sativus</italic> L.) is an important root vegetable crop with extensive morphological and nutritional diversity. The landrace radish, ‘Huangzhou’ (HZ) radish, origins in Huangzhou area, Hubei province of China, and characterized b...

Synergies and trade-offs for reaching global biodiversity and climate commitments

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework strives to expand high-quality protected areas globally, yet faces economic constraints, climate change and human pressures. This requires integrating biological and socio-economic complexity while ensuring equity. We explore mul...
