2021-07-23Legacy effect of land-use history declines the stability of soil organic carbonAnd subtropical forests plays a key role in mitigating global climate change .Postdoctoral Science Foundation . For further reading , please refer to : https : / / doi . org / 10.1016 / j . jenvman . 2021.113142. Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in tropical and subtropical forests plays a key role in mitigating global climate change. The impact of human activities on soil carbon sink potential in the tropics has aroused wide concerns at global scale. However, it is still unclear how the legacy effect of land-use history affects SOC stability.Read More

2021-06-23A New Mechanism of NF-YC-mediated H2A.Z deposition in photomorphogenic growthAuthor: ZHANG Chunyu E-mail: czhang2019@scbg.ac.cn Paper link: https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.13109 Online time: 04 May 2021 Light serves as a pivotal external signal that regulates autotrophic plant growth and development throughout the plant life cycle from germination to seed formation. After perceiving light, these photoreceptors transmit the signal through a cascade to regulate the transcriptome, ultimately triggering photomorphogenesis. During this process, the ...Read More

2021-06-18Effects of Typhoon Mangkhut on a Monsoon Evergreen Broad-Leaved Forest Community in Dinghushan Nature Reserve, Lower Subtropical ChinaAuthor: LI Yuelin E-mail: yuelin@scbg.ac.cn Paper link: https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2021.692155 Online time: 31 May 2021 The Dinghushan National Nature Reserve located in subtropical China faced typhoon Mangkhut in 2018. This led to damage to the vegetation and highlighted the sensitivity of the ecosystem to storms that will inevitably emerge as a result of climate change. Tree population comparisons and damage, before and after the typhoon, had previously not bee...Read More
