Moisture is an important factor affecting the priming effect of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, empirical evidence for its effect in mountain meadows soil is lacking. We conducted a 126-day laboratory incubation experiment with the high altitude (2130 m) mountain meadow soil in Wuyi Mountain, by adding C-labelled glucose combined with controlling soil moisture (30% and 60% of field water capacity, FWC). The CO concentration and C-CO abundance were measured regularly to examine the differences of SOC mineralization and priming effects under different water conditions and the driving factors. Our results showed that SOC mineralization rate increased with increasing soil water content. The priming effect of meadow soil with different soil moisture showed a decreasing trend with the increases of incubation time. The priming effect in soils with low FWC soil was significantly greater than that with high FWC. At the end of incubation, the cumulative priming effect of low FWC soil was 61.4% higher than that of high FWC soil. Compared with low FWC soil, high FWC soil released more CO from glucose, and the ratio of cumulative primed carbon to glucose mineralization under low FWC was significantly higher than that under high FWC soil, indicating that soil microorganisms under the high FWC condition might preferentially mineralize more glucose than SOC and consequently lower priming effect. Therefore, the priming effect under high FWC was smaller than that under low FWC. There was a significant positive relationship between priming effect and microbial biomass carbon, microbial biomass carbon/microbial biomass nitrogen, and NH-N, indicating that soil microbial biomass and composition could be changed under low FWC condition. The improved microbial "nitrogen-mining" would increase priming effect. Consequently, the decline of soil moisture of mountain meadow induced by global climate change may increase the priming effect of carbon, with consequences on carbon loss.

Deterministic fabrication of highly thermally conductive composite film with satisfying low-frequency electromagnetic (EM) absorption performance exhibits great potential in advancing the application of 5G smart electric devices but persists challenge. Herein, a multifunctional flexible film combined with hetero-structured FeWC-FeWO@C (FWC-O@C) as the absorber and aramid nanofibers (ANFs) as the matrix was prepared. Driven by an atomic gradient infusion reduction strategy, the carbon atoms of absorbers can be precisely relocated from carbon shell to core oxometallate lattice, triggering in situ carbothermic reduction for customization of unique oxometallate-carbide heterojunctions and surface geometrical structure.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is becoming prevalent among younger people who have dual roles at both work and home. A possible contributor to CVD is conflict between work and home life. Thus, this study investigated the impact of work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) on metabolic risk factors.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in immunocompromised patients by comparing their reported adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to a control group.
- It involved a cohort of immunocompromised individuals from 11 European countries who completed electronic questionnaires to track ADRs after vaccination between February 2021 and February 2023.
- Results show that immunocompromised participants reported higher rates of common ADRs, like injection-site pain and fatigue, compared to their matched non-immunocompromised counterparts, particularly after the first vaccine dose.
Safety Monitoring of COVID-19 Vaccines in Persons with Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A European Multi-Country Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported by individuals who received COVID-19 vaccinations, comparing those with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection to those without, across different vaccine brands and doses.
- Conducted from February 2021 to February 2023, it included 4,788 vaccinees and found that those with previous infections reported higher ADRs after the first and booster doses, but lower ADRs after the second dose.
- Overall, while the frequency of serious ADRs was low, the study highlights the variation in reported reactions based on prior infection history and the type and timing of vaccine doses.
Avocado and Guacamole Consumption and Colorectal Cancer Risk: The Multiethnic Cohort Study.

Avocado Nutrition Center, Hass Avocado Board, Mission Viejo, California, USA.
Dietary fiber and phytonutrients can protect against colorectal cancer, yet their consumption is low in the US. Avocados are a potential source of these beneficial nutrients. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between avocados/guacamole consumption and colorectal cancer risk in the Multiethnic Cohort Study.
