A team led by Prof. LIU Xueyan from the Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new plant-soil nitrogen isotope process model, quantifying the fractional contribution of three nitrogen forms (nitrate, ammonium, and dissolved organic nitrogen) to the total nitrogen in global terrestrial plants.
A research team led by Prof. CHEN Jitao from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a 60-million-year record of the Chemical Index of Alteration from a continuously deposited Carboniferous-to-Early Permian slope sequence in South China.
A collaborative research team has analyzed mitochondrial genome data from 97 stonefly species—representing all 17 of the order's extant families—and applied an integrative analytical framework combining multiple evolutionary models. The team was led by Prof. CAI Chenyang from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. DU Yuzhou from Yangzhou University.
Scientists from the Institute of Applied Ecology have made new progress in improving the accuracy of both gross primary productivity and evapotranspiration simulations. The findings are expected to provide methodological support for evaluating carbon and water fluxes across diverse ecosystems at regional scales.
A research team from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has clarified the structure and function of synthetic microbial consortia, providing new insights for bioremediation of complex soil pollution.
A research team led by Prof. KOU Liang from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with international collaborators, has revealed that due to their fast turnover and slow decomposition, absorptive roots' iterative effects generate 2.4 ± 0.1 megagrams of carbon per hectare in soil over two decades—surpassing the carbon contribution of leaves by 65%.
