Grazing can alter the physicochemical properties of soil and quickly influence the composition of microbial communities. However, the effects of grazing intensity on fungal community composition in different soil depth remain unclear. On the Inner Mongolia Plateau, we studied the effects of grazing intensity treatments including no grazing (NG), light grazing (LG), moderate grazing (MG), heavy grazing (HG), and over grazing (OG) on the physicochemical properties and fungal community composition of surface (0-20 cm) and subsurface (20-40 cm) soil layers.

Nitrogen metabolic responses of non-rhizosphere and rhizosphere microbial communities in constructed wetlands under nanoplastics disturbance.

J Hazard Mater

December 2024

School of Environment, State Key Laboratory of Urban Water Resource and Environment, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150090, China. Electronic address:

Constructed wetlands (CWs) serve as crucial sinks for nanoplastics, making them a significant research hotspot regarding the impacts of nanoplastics on the nitrogen metabolism within microbial communities. However, there has been a lack of comparative analysis between rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere microbial communities under nanoplastics disturbance. This study analyzes the nitrogen metabolic responses of these microbial communities in CWs following repeated nanoplastics disturbance.

Adaption mechanism and ecological role of CPR bacteria in brackish-saline groundwater.

NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Water and Sediment Sciences, Ministry of Education, 100871, Beijing, P. R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • CPR (Candidate Phyla Radiation) is a significant component of bacterial diversity in brackish-saline groundwater, with 399 reconstructed metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) identified from CPR and their roles still largely unexplored.
  • CPR is involved in essential biogeochemical processes, such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles, and contributes to microbial stability and complexity in these environments.
  • The adaptation of CPR to high salinity is supported by specific genes related to heat shock proteins and osmoprotectants, showcasing their cooperative interactions with non-CPR bacteria for metabolic support and resource sharing.

Morphological complexity promotes origination and extinction rates in ammonoids.

Curr Biol

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Biogeology and Environmental Geology, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China. Electronic address:

The causes of heterogeneity in evolutionary rates are a key question in macroevolution. Origination and extinction rates are closely related to abiotic factors, such as climate and geography, as well as biotic factors such as taxonomic richness and morphology, which are influenced by phylogeny. Studies on the relationship between morphology and macroevolution have focused on morphological traits, including body size, shape, color, and complexity, and have proposed biological laws, such as the zero-force evolutionary law and Cope's rule.
