Water resources have been increasingly polluted, while vegetative filter strip (VFS) is accepted as one of the best management practices to reduce water body pollution, especially non-point source pollution. A vegetative filter strip is a vegetated strip of land, which separates the runoff and pollutant contributing areas from surface water bodies and allows the runoff and associated pollutants to be attenuated before reaching surface waters via infiltration, adsorption, uptake, decay, filtering, and deposition. In this paper, the research and application advances on VFS were reviewed, including the history, structure, mechanisms of pollution control, design, management, and cost effectiveness of VFS. The studies on VFS in China started recently, and very few results of experiments and applications had been achieved. In order to efficiently promote and use this ecological technique in China, more studies on VFS are needed to obtain relative experimental data and results.

Understanding how mutations arise and spread through individuals and populations is fundamental to evolutionary biology. Most organisms have a life cycle with unicellular bottlenecks during reproduction. However, some organisms like plants, fungi, or colonial animals can grow indefinitely, changing the manner in which mutations spread throughout both the individual and the population.

Unlabelled: Amid persistent concerns over microbial foodborne illnesses and escalating antibiotic resistance, we introduce "NP," a novel and effective broad-spectrum atural antimicrobial roduct derived from the filtered culture broth of grown in a food-grade liquid medium. NP demonstrates potent bactericidal activity against a range of food-borne and ESKPAE pathogens, including s (including eight distinct drug-resistant methicillin-resistant strains), , , , and (including O157:H7) with minimal inhibitory strength ranging from 25% to 100%. In addition, NP exhibits robust antifungal activity against several human pathogenic fungi including , and the prevalent food spoilage mold species, arresting spore germination and vegetative cell growth.

Microbial community assembly involves a series of ecological filtering mechanisms that determine the composition of microbial communities. While the importance of both broad and local level factors on microbial communities has been reasonably well studied, this work often is limited to single observations and neglects to consider how communities change over time (i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTheories explaining community assembly assume that biotic and abiotic filters sort species into communities based on the values of their traits and are thus based on between-species trait variability (BTV). Nevertheless, these filters act on individuals rather than on species. Consequently, the selection is also influenced by intraspecific trait variability (ITV) and its drivers.

- Climate change is making heat waves and droughts worse, which is harming nature and people, especially in places like the Oder River in Europe.
- A toxic algae called Prymnesium parvum, also known as "golden algae," spread in this river and killed a huge amount of fish and other creatures because of pollution and high temperatures.
- This situation shows that because of warming and pollution, rivers can have more harmful algae problems in the future, and we need to think about this when planning for environmental changes.
