Increasing extreme climatic events threaten the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Because soil microbes govern key biogeochemical processes, understanding their response to climate extremes is crucial in predicting the consequences for ecosystem functioning. Here we subjected soils from 30 grasslands across Europe to four contrasting extreme climatic events under common controlled conditions (drought, flood, freezing and heat), and compared the response of soil microbial communities and their functioning with those of undisturbed soils.

Article Synopsis
  • In three clinical trials involving 142 participants with Pompe disease, 17 were deemed suitable for home infusion of avalglucosidase alfa, receiving a total of 419 supervised infusions.
  • The majority of participants with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) experienced non-serious adverse events, while those with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) did not report any adverse effects.
  • The safety and adverse event rates during home infusion were comparable to those during clinic infusions, indicating that home administration is feasible and safe for stable patients with a prior good infusion history.
