Unveiling the dominant role of soil pH in shaping nitrogen cycling microbial gene abundances: Insights from 65-years of chemical fertilizer selection in acidic grassland meadow

This study shows that soil pH, shaped by long-term fertilizer application, is the main driver of nitrogen cycling gene abundances in acidic grasslands, more so than direct fertilizer effects.

Liming enhances the abundance and stability of nitrogen-cycling microbes: The buffering effect of long-term lime application

This study shows that long-term liming increases microbial nitrogen-cycling gene abundance and stabilizes their populations against seasonal changes without increasing nitrous oxide emissions.

Ribonanza: deep learning of RNA structure through dual crowdsourcing

The paper introduces RibonanzaNet, a deep learning model trained on crowdsourced RNA chemical mapping data to predict RNA structure and related properties.

A non-toxic equinatoxin-II reveals the dynamics of sphingomyelin in the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane

The paper uses a non-toxic SM probe to show dynamic SM and cholesterol domains in the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membranes.

Long-term recoveries of forest ecosystem components after shallow landslides were asynchronized among slope positions

This study shows that forest recovery after shallow landslides occurs faster at lower slope positions due to richer disturbance legacies and stabilized soils.

Evaluation of microbial diversification mechanisms in legume-based mixed cropping systems with different legume species and types of fertilizer management

This study evaluates how different legume species and fertilizer types affect soil microbial diversity in mixed cropping systems using 16S rRNA analysis.
