Researchers from the South China Botanical Garden, in collaboration with other international institutions, found that residence time of carbon in Amazonian vegetation will continue to shorten as atmospheric drying intensifies and convective storm activity increases, thereby undermining the forests' long-term carbon storage capacity.

Researchers from China's Aging Biomarker Consortium have built a comprehensive "digital aging twin" framework that can predict a person's biological age, track how individual organs age at different rates, and identify a key driver of age-related decline—coagulation factors accumulating in the blood.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Riverside, have reported pronounced spatial heterogeneity in forest soil nitrogen emissions across hillslopes, revealing that topography-mediated soil moisture gradients play a key role in regulating gaseous nitrogen losses from forest soils.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have clarified how no-till farming combined with straw mulching improves soil fertility and increases maize yields over time, based on a 15-year field experiment in Northeast China.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a fermentation process that simultaneously enhances biohydrogen production and sequesters carbon dioxide within a single system.

Long-term nitrogen addition can make young and mature trees more vulnerable to drought, but through different physiological routes, according to a study led by Professor YAN Tao from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

A research team from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered that specific grain boundaries in magnetite exhibit substantially higher electrical conductivity than the surrounding grain interiors, overturning the long-held belief that grain boundaries inevitably degrade electrical transport.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators have shown that the interplay between seed dormancy and dispersal syndromes shapes seed dispersal distance and species range size in climate-specific ways.

To better understand how environmental conditions may have shaped the development of millet agriculture, researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment and their collaborators in and aboard China investigated loess deposits from the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP).

Prof. LI Yunhai's team from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the collaborators, revealed a novel epigenetic mechanism by which a complex formed by the histone-binding protein LARGE3 and the histone deacetylase OsHDT1 regulates grain size in rice by modulating histone H4 acetylation.

Scientists from the Institute of Computing Technology have unveiled BioMedAgent, an "AI Data Scientist" framework with self-evolving capabilities. Developed by integrating large language models with multi-agent technology, the system marks a significant breakthrough in autonomous biomedical scientific data analysis.

A study led by researchers from the South China Botanical Garden shows that Spartina alterniflora invasion increases soil methane emissions by enhancing labile organic matter and altering methane-cycling microbial communities.

Researchers from South China Botanical Garden found that nitrogen form is the key factor determining nutrient utilization, and propose revising traditional "application-heavy" methods and adopting a core strategy centered on "form optimization.

A research team led by Prof. LI Qingman from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposes a new multi-level assessment framework for internal P release risk based on dilute-HCl extracted P (dHCl-P), providing a practical tool for sediment P risk evaluation in freshwater ecosystems.

A new analytical model developed by researchers at the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrates that the long photometric cycles of double-periodic variables (DPVs) can be attributed to tidally driven nodal precession of tilted accretion disks, providing an analytical framework for deciphering the physical mechanisms underlying these interacting binary systems.

A research team at the Yunnan Observatories discovered that long-duration explosive events in the solar transition region exhibit evolving non-Gaussian spectral wing enhancements—primarily bilateral—with sustained bidirectional flows, providing direct evidence for ongoing magnetic reconnection.

A research team from Yunnan Observatories characterized 123 composite-spectrum hot subdwarf binaries which derived mass, radius, and orbital period distributions that indicate these systems predominantly form through the stable Roche-lobe overflow channel.

Scientists from Shanghai Institute of Ceramics have developed a new strategy to enhance scintillation light output in zero-dimensional halides by manipulating exciton confinement, achieving a 460% increase in scintillation yield and enabling high-resolution radiation imaging at both room and elevated temperatures.
