Study on the incremental carbon sink of tea plantations under spatio-temporal variation characteristics by Yaxiang Pan, Yaxiang Pan, Jingling Bao, Jingling Bao, Yuxuan Ji, Yuxuan Ji, Wen Li, Wen Li, Weiyu Lin, Shuisheng Fan, Shuisheng Fan, Shuisheng Fan, Liyu Mao, Liyu Mao

“…The results show that: (1) During the period of 2010–2022, the total carbon sink of tea plantations in Fujian Province increased by 133.12 × 105Mg, showing a continuous growth trend; in terms of spatial distribution, the intensity of tea plantation carbon sinks in the study area showed a gradual and present trend of migration and concentration from the southwest to the northeast. (2) Construct the evaluation index system of carbon sinks in tea plantations, divided into social, living, industrial and population factors and other four categories of eight indicators. (3)The single-factor driver of tea plantation carbon sinks shows that it is mainly affected by industrial scale, population density and industrial structure, with q-values exceeding 0.5. (4)The interaction of the drivers shows that the urban-rural disparity and industrial scale have the highest interaction effect, with q-values reaching 0.9698. …”

Ectopic lymphoid structures support ongoing production of class-switched autoantibodies in rheumatoid synovium. by Frances Humby, Michele Bombardieri, Antonio Manzo, Stephen Kelly, Mark C Blades, Bruce Kirkham, Jo Spencer, Costantino Pitzalis

“…Anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPA) are highly specific markers of RA, predict a poor prognosis, and have been suggested to be pathogenic. Therefore, the main study objectives were to determine whether ectopic lymphoid structures in RA synovium: (i) express activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), the enzyme required for somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination (CSR) of Ig genes; (ii) support ongoing CSR and ACPA production; and (iii) remain functional in a RA/severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) chimera model devoid of new immune cell influx into the synovium.…”

Disentangling the effects of eutrophication and natural variability on macrobenthic communities across French coastal lagoons by Jones, Auriane G., Schaal, Gauthier, Boyé, Aurélien, Creemers, Marie, Derolez, Valérie, Desroy, Nicolas, Fiandrino, Annie, Mouton, Théophile L., Simier, Monique, Smith, Niamh, Ouisse, Vincent

“…Using correlograms, linear models and variance partitioning, we found that lagoon hydro-morphology (connection to the sea and lagoon surface), which affects the level of environmental variability (salinity and temperature), as well as lagoon-scale benthic habitat diversity (using macrophyte morphotypes) seemed to regulate macrofauna distribution, while eutrophication and associated stressors like low dissolved oxygen, acted upon the existing communities, mainly by reducing species richness and diversity. …”
