Microbial life strategies-mediated differences in carbon metabolism explain the variation in SOC sequestration between Kandelia obovata and Sonneratia apetala by Fuyuan Duan, Fengxiao Tan, Xuming Zhao, Hui Feng, Jiakai Wang, Hao Peng, Nannan Zhang, Yelin Huang

“…Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a crucial role in mangrove blue carbon formation, yet the differences in microbe-mediated underlying SOC sequestration between introduced and native mangroves remain unclear. Here, we compared the SOC pool, including recalcitrant organic carbon (ROC) and labile carbon pools, as well as three residual carbon sources (amino sugars, lignin phenols, and lipids) in sediments between mangroves of introduced Sonneratia apetala and native Kandelia obovata, and further connected them with microbial life strategies and C metabolism capability. …”

Bat assemblage and its frugivorous diet in a Eucalyptus plantation by FÁBIO ANDRÉ F. JACOMASSA, VANESSA F.C. BORTOLOTTI, PEDRO HENRIQUE MIGUEL, MARCO AURÉLIO PIZO

“…Compared to literature data from other <italic>Eucalyptus</italic> plantations, we concluded that our studied <italic>Eucalyptus</italic> area with understory and emerging regenerating native species provided greater diversity than in areas where <italic>Eucalyptus</italic> is used commercially and the understory vegetation is constantly altered; the fruits exploited by these three bat species demonstrates their ability to adapt to food availability and coexist with other species; <italic>Eucalyptus</italic> forests cannot be considered as biological deserts if they are not managed so intensively as in commercial plantations.…”
