[Bryophyte diversity and microhabitat characteristics of bryophyte-dominated biological soil crusts development in water-wind erosion crisscross region of the northern Loess Plateau, China].

Microhabitat factors play an important role in regulating bryophyte species distribution and the development of bryophyte-dominated biological soil crusts (hereafter bryophyte crusts). We investigated the distribution and development of bryophytes in eight microhabitats in the water-wind erosion crisscross region of the Loess Pla-teau. We used the line intercept transects to explore and quantify the influencing pathways of microhabitat factors on bryophyte diversity and analyzed the influencing pathways of plant cover, slope aspect, and slope gradient by using structural equation model to quantify influencing coefficients.

[Research progress on the bioweathering and controlling of stone cultural relics].

The bioweathering of stone cultural relics is a ubiquitous problem. Weathering prevention is an escalating challenge under the increasing global climate and environmental changes. Here, the mechanisms of lichen-microorganism mediated weathering of stone materials and their relationships with climatic and environmental factors were reviewed.

Enhancing inactivation rather than reducing activation of Nav1.7 channels by a clinically effective analgesic CNV1014802.

The Nav1.7 channel represents a promising target for pain relief. In the recent decades, a number of Nav1.

The sand-deposition impact of artificial gravel beds on the protection of the Mogao Grottoes.

Gravel beds can prevent sand-dust emission and weaken sand-dust flux. We used wind-tunnel experiments and field observations on artificial gravel beds above the Mogao Grottoes to quantify their impact. In the report, we identified a significant correlation between gravel roughness and its ability to trap wind-transported sand.
