The relationship between the coarticulatory source and effect in sound change: evidence from Italo-Romance metaphony in the Lausberg area by Jonathan Harrington, Michele Gubian, Pia Greca

“…The corpus was of 35 speakers producing mostly disyllabic words with phonetically mid stem vowels and suffix vowels that varied in phonetic height. The results of functional principal components analysis applied to the stem vowels’ first two formant frequencies showed a progressively greater enhancement to the vowel stem across the three regions that was characterised by raising, diphthongisation, and then further raising and monophthongisation. …”

Characterization of Soil Bacterial Communities in Different Vegetation Types on the Lava Plateau of Jingpo Lake by Yanli Zhang, Jiaxing Huang, Jiaxin Xue, Kaining Zhang, Xintong Chen, Jianhui Jia, Qingyang Huang

“…The soil organic matter (SOM), available nitrogen (AN), total nitrogen (TN), and soil water content (SWC) were significantly correlated with the bacterial community structure (<i>p</i> < 0.05 or <i>p</i> < 0.01), acting as key determinants of the microbial community structure and function. PICRUSt2 functional predictions revealed significant variations in the metabolic functions of the soil bacterial communities across vegetation types, indicating distinct functional specializations. …”
