Intercropping-driven effects on soil organic carbon mineralization and its temperature sensitivity are associated with soil C-N-P stoichiometry and carbon-acquiring microorganisms... by Ziyu Yang, Jinmeng Hu, Xiaowei Chen, Yuping Zhang, Yizhe Wang, Jianwei Peng, Jiangchi Fei, Gongwen Luo, Chaolin Liao

“…These findings elucidated the benefits of maize-based intercropping in SOC mineralization and its stability, which was largely associated with the response of soil C-N-P stoichiometry and C-acquiring microorganisms and enzymes to intercropping patterns and plant development. This study suggests that soil C pools can be stabilized while enhancing food production through intercropping under climate change.…”

European domestic horses originated in two holocene refugia. by Vera Warmuth, Anders Eriksson, Mim A Bower, Javier Cañon, Gus Cothran, Ottmar Distl, Marie-Louise Glowatzki-Mullis, Harriet Hunt, Cristina Luís, Maria do Mar Oom, Isabel Tupac Yupanqui, Tomasz Ząbek, Andrea Manica

“…While the fossil record for wild horses in Europe prior to horse domestication is scarce, there have been suggestions that wild populations from various European regions might have contributed to the gene pool of domestic horses. To distinguish between regions where domestic populations are mainly descended from local wild stock and those where horses were largely imported, we investigated patterns of genetic diversity in 24 European horse breeds typed at 12 microsatellite loci. …”

VERBAL, SOCIAL AND BIOGENETIC CODES OF EMOTION EXTERNALIZATION: AN AFFECTIVE-DISCURSIVE ACCOUNT by Iryna P. Pinich

“…Current emotion theories in linguistics, philosophy, and psychology exhibit a general tendency towards the integration of embodied emotional and sensual experience in epistemic and sense-making practices of social interaction. An emotional pool proves indispensable from the pool of knowledge and involves shared experience of affective and emotional responses, their conventionalized and sedimented externalization, the library of verbal and nonverbal means of their manifestation, regulation, negotiation, and channeling. …”
