Based on observations for #LitterMassLoss, #Carbon (C) and #Nitrogen (N) release, Siqi Wu et al. found that litter mass loss was decreased by 4.5%, and C and N release were significantly reduced by 6.7% and 3.4%, respectively, under #ElevatedCO2 in #TerrestrialEcosystems, which meant that may lead to negative #BiogeochemicalCycles.

#AI4PEX research focus 5: Land

We build #hybridmodels representing short-to-long-term responses of #TerrestrialEcosystems to changes in climate and atmospheric CO2, improve the vegetation response to water and heat stress and temperature sensitivity of decomposition in soils.

Effect of microplastic pollution on the gut microbiome of anecic and endogeic earthworms

Earthworm lifestyle and microplastic pollution strongly impact the structure of the earthworm’s gut microbiome.
