Soil microbial carbon use efficiency and the constraints by Run Dang, Jian Liu, Eric Lichtfouse, Lifeng Zhou, Meng Zhou, Leilei Xiao

“…For example, external nutrient input (N, P, K, Ca) tended to promote carbon use efficiency, while climate warming showed more negative influence. Conclusion Further, overwhelming works focused on single constraint, we suggest the importance to consider the synergistic influence of multiple environmental variables on microbial carbon use efficiency, special for the regulation mechanism of biological-environmental interactions.…”

Axinite, a Borosilicate with Extensive Fe-Mn Substitutions at the Scale of Monocrystal Revealed by Micro-XRF Imaging and In Situ Analysis: An Example from the Type Locality at Oisa... by Michel Cathelineau, Olivier Gerbeaud, Chantal Peiffert

“…This lack of knowledge provided the opportunity for a systematic survey of axinites from Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, where crystals appear to cover an extensive range of Fe-Mn substitution from an Fe-rich (axinite-Fe) to a Mn-rich field (axinite-Mn) in a same crystal, with compositional variations much more significant than initially described. …”

The Upper Stratospheric Solar Cycle Ozone Response by W. T. Ball, E. V. Rozanov, J. Alsing, D. R. Marsh, F. Tummon, D. J. Mortlock, D. Kinnison, J. D. Haigh

“…We confirm this using two independent chemistry climate models in specified dynamics mode and an idealized timeslice experiment. We recommend the BASICv2 ozone composite to best represent historical upper stratospheric solar variability, and that those based on SBUV alone should not be used.…”

Trophic cascades and top-down control: found at sea by Szymon Surma, Szymon Surma, Evgeny A. Pakhomov, Evgeny A. Pakhomov, Tony J. Pitcher

“…This review suggests that top-down control is more widespread in neritic and pelagic ecosystems than species-level trophic cascades, which in turn are more frequent than community-level cascades. …”

A Global Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Methods Used to Evaluate Predation and Diet of Domestic Cats (Felis catus) by Hannah L. Lockwood, Maren Huck

“…Only six (6.8%) studies here used video cameras and, although a useful monitoring technique, video results showed a different pattern in taxonomic proportions to data gathered using consumed or returned prey. More research using cat cameras in locations of varying faunal composition is necessary, improving the general applicability of video data to cat populations globally. …”

Identification of critical process parameters and quality attributes for bioreactor-based expansion of human MSCs by Laura Herbst, Bastian Nießing, Robert H. Schmitt, Robert H. Schmitt

“…One of the primary challenges in MSC manufacturing is achieving robustness, due to the high donor-to-donor and batch-to-batch variability seen in MSC manufacturing. To achieve more consistent manufacturing, standardization of the manufacturing process and analytical methods to determine cell quality and control process parameters will be needed. …”

Network Meta-Analysis of Factors Influencing the Carbon Sink Capacity of Urban Park Green Spaces by Yutong JI, Tianyi LIN, Lian LIU, Xiong LI

“…Subgroup analysis by climate type shows that the research objects dominated by temperate climates show higher heterogeneity, presumably because the longitudinal differences of the research objects in temperate regions are large, and the differences in plant species and ecological environments lead to large differences in the measurement results of carbon sink capacity.ConclusionThis research provides critical insights into the interplay of factors shaping the carbon sink potential of urban parks, emphasizing the importance of stable foundational strategies like design and maintenance. While habitat composition and planting strategies offer substantial localized benefits, their variability necessitates tailored interventions informed by specific ecological and social contexts. …”
