Plant community succession can impact greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the soil by altering the soil carbon and nitrogen cycles. However, the effects of community landscape diversity on soil GHG emissions have rarely been fully understood. Therefore, this study investigated how plant landscape diversity, structure type, and species composition, affect soil GHG emissions in a riparian zone.

Canada goldenrod ( L.) is considered one of the most deleterious and invasive species worldwide, and invasion of riparian wetlands by can reduce vegetation diversity and alter soil nutrient cycling. However, little is known about how invasion affects soil carbon cycle processes, such as soil respiration, in a riparian wetland.

This study aimed to explore the association between ACEI/ARB medication during ICU stay and all-cause in-hospital mortality in these patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on data from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, which consisted of more than 40,000 patients in ICU between 2008 and 2019 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
