The contributory role of the family context in early childhood sleep health: A systematic review.

Sleep-wake regulation is established during early childhood and contributes to life-long health. The family context is critical to the development of child sleep-wake regulation. The primary aim of this systematic review was to elucidate family-level constructs (outside of bedtime parenting) that contribute to early childhood (age 0-5 years) sleep health.

Racial disparities and sleep among preschool aged children: a systematic review.

Sleep disorders and sleep insufficiency are common among preschool-aged children. Studies among school-aged children show disordered sleep is often more prevalent among racial minority groups. The primary aim of this systematic review was to critically appraise empirical data to elucidate the relationship between race and key sleep variables among children aged 2 to 5 years old.

Enhanced decomposition of stable soil organic carbon and microbial catabolic potentials by long-term field warming.

Quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition under warming is critical to predict carbon-climate feedbacks. According to the substrate regulating principle, SOC decomposition would decrease as labile SOC declines under field warming, but observations of SOC decomposition under warming do not always support this prediction. This discrepancy could result from varying changes in SOC components and soil microbial communities under warming.

Annual Removal of Aboveground Plant Biomass Alters Soil Microbial Responses to Warming.

Unlabelled: Clipping (i.e., harvesting aboveground plant biomass) is common in agriculture and for bioenergy production.
