Effects of storage durations on flavour and bacterial communities in Liupao tea.

Food Chem

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Tea Science of Ministry of Education, Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha, Hunan 410128, China.

Long-term storage of Liupao tea is conducive to improving its flavour and commercial value. Although bacterial communities influence Liupao tea flavour, their impact during storage remains unclear. The aroma compounds and bacterial communities were determined by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and Illumina Nova6000 analysis.

Development and validation of attitudes toward inclusive education scale among Chinese normal universities students' attitudes.

BMC Psychol

December 2024

School of Nursing, Fujian Medical University, Qishan Campus, Minhou County, Fuzhou City, 350108, Fujian Province, China.

Purpose: Inclusive education plays a crucial role in integrating students with special educational needs (SEN) into mainstream schools, where the attitudes of pre-service teachers are pivotal. Despite recognizing the significance of these attitudes, there is currently a gap in understanding the perspectives of students attending normal universities in China regarding inclusive education practices. This study aims to bridge this gap by creating the Chinese version of the Normal Universities Students' Attitudes Toward Inclusive Education Scale (NUSATIES) and examining its psychometric properties.

Unveiling Pervasive Soil Microbial P Limitation in Terrestrial Ecosystems Worldwide.

Ecol Lett

November 2024

National Observation and Research Station of Fujian Wuyishan Forest Ecosystem, Wuyishan, Fujian, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Soil microorganisms play a vital role in carbon sequestration in ecosystems, but their activities are often limited by the availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).
  • A study analyzing 1245 observations revealed that phosphorus limitation in soil microbes is more common than previously thought, especially in tropical and cold zones, while nitrogen limitation is primarily found in temperate regions.
  • These nutrient limitations significantly impact carbon cycling, indicating that understanding microbial nutrient dynamics is essential for improving Earth system models and predicting changes in ecosystems.
