  • New Study Clarifies Microbial Role in Global Soil Carbon Cycle

    Soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, with soil microorganisms playing the main role. As a result, the global soil carbon cycle—by which carbon enters, moves through, and leaves soils worldwide—exerts a significant impact on climate change feedback. Now an important study led by researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sheds new light on this cycle by overturning assumptions about the relationship between microbial respiration and carbon storage.

  • New Study Reveals Impacts of Climate Shifts on Riverine Nitrogen Pollution

    A new study led by a research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated DIN export patterns in a representative subtropical catchment in southeastern China. Leveraging the Hydrological Predictions for the Environment (HYPE) model, the study assessed the primary drivers of fluctuations in DIN export, as well as the potential impacts of projected future climate and land-use shifts.
