DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9134
Abstract: Abstract Soil microarthropods have a pivotal role in soil nitrogen cycling in that they affect microbial decomposers. A high abundance of microarthropods may increase the mobility of inorganic nitrogen ions in the soil, mainly in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-017-3421-8
Abstract: Background and aimsInorganic nitrogen (N)––ammonium (NH4+-N) and nitrate (NO3--N)––deposition to tropical forests near urban areas frequently exceeds 5-10 kg ha-1 yr-1, surpassing critical loads for many forest types. We hypothesized that throughfall N fluxes to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2018.05.030
Abstract: Abstract We hypothesize that lower public visibility of residential backyards reduces households’ desire for social conformity, which alters residential land management and produces differences in ecological composition and function between front and backyards. Using lawn… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2025gl116748
Abstract: The South China Sea (SCS) nitrogen cycle responds dynamically to glacial–interglacial climate changes, yet the drivers of nitrogen isotope variability remain debated. We present a synthesis of foraminifera‐bound δ15N (FB‐δ15N) records, together with complementary organic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00697-6
Abstract: Symbiosis with unicellular algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae is common across tropical marine invertebrates. Reef-building corals offer a clear example of cellular dysfunction leading to a dysbiosis that disrupts entire ecosystems in a process termed… read more here.
