Divergence and convergence in epiphytic and endophytic phyllosphere bacterial communities of rice landraces by Pratibha Sanjenbam, Deepa Agashe

“…Seeds sampled from a focal landrace did not support vertical transmission of phyllosphere bacteria, suggesting that both types of communities are assembled anew each generation. Despite these points of convergence, epiphytic communities had distinct composition and significantly higher microbial load and were more rich, diverse, modular, and unstable than endophytic communities. …”

Impact of carbon emission trading on urban electricity efficiency by SHI Yang, SONG Jia

“…[Results] (1) The pilot policy of carbon emission rights trading has significantly enhanced the urban electricity efficiency; (2) Its mechanism of action mainly lies in that, when the electricity price cannot fully regulate the situation, carbon emission rights trading can increase the supply constraints faced by thermal power enterprises and promote the transformation of their functions to improve the power supply flexibility of these enterprises; (3) When the proportion of thermal power generation in the city's electricity generation is higher, the number of thermal power enterprises participating in carbon emission rights trading is greater, and the total volume of carbon emission rights trading is larger, the effect of enhancing electricity consumption efficiency becomes stronger; (4) The carbon emission rights trading policy not only promotes the improvement of electricity efficiency but also boosts the economic growth of the city and reduces the air pollution level. …”
