Dominant Diatom Thrives via Partnership with Bacteria in China's Major Water Project

Scientists have recently found that a long‑term dominant diatom in China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project maintains its edge through a mutually reinforced cycle with bacteria , whereas a short‑term dominant species lacks such a close partnership and is far less resilient . The study, led by researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was publish

New Study Demonstrates TanSat-2's Potential to Distinguish Human Carbon Emissions from Ecosystem Carbon Sinks

Satellites are becoming increasingly important to track global carbon cycle. China is preparing to launch its next-generation carbon monitoring satellite, TanSat-2, which is designed to provide global and regional observations of column-averaged carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 ). Atmospheric CO 2 observations contain signals from both human activities and carbon exchanged between atmosphe

New Framework Helps Identify Land Degradation Hotspots in Drylands

Not every dry year means degraded land. A new framework published in Catena on August 25 can distinguish persistent degradation from short-term climate fluctuations. Land degradation remains a critical ecological challenge worldwide, undermining ecosystem services, food security, and sustainable development. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) has established Land Degra

Targeted Fish Removals Enhance Native Fish Diversity in Freshwater Protected Areas

Freshwater protected areas (FPAs) are widely promoted as an important conservation tool for rebuilding overexploited fish populations and protecting aquatic habitats. Yet simply banning fishing does not always guarantee ecological recovery. This is partly because non-native, stocked, and benthivorous fishes may also benefit from reduced fishing pressure. A new study suggests that targeted fish rem

Genetic Strategy Paves Way for Mechanized Goji Berry Harvesting

Goji berry ( Lycium barbarum L.) is a perennial woody cash crop valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties and of significant industrial importance. However, its typical indeterminate growth habit has become a major bottleneck to the development of the goji berry industry. This trait causes goji branches to continuously sprout, bloom, and bear fruit over time. Consequently, flowers and fr

Tropical Forest Restoration Enhances Soil Carbon Storage Through Microbial Activity

Soil organic carbon dynamics are a key indicator for assessing the success of ecosystem restoration. According to a new study by researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, soil microorganisms play a critical role in regulating carbon storage in tropical ecosystems undergoing recovery.

New Framework Shows Expanding Ecological Decline Across Asian Drylands

A research team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has proposed a new ecosystem health framework to track long-term, consistent ecological changes across Asian drylands. Based on the framework, the team found that ecosystem health across Asian drylands declined steadily until 2012, then partially recovered after 2014. Central Asia c

New Nanocarrier Helps Keep Iron on Leaves After Rainfall

Iron is essential for plants, but in alkaline soils, ferrous iron (Fe 2+ ) becomes poorly soluble and difficult for plant roots to absorb. Applying iron directly to leaves can bypass this problem, but foliar iron treatments face other issues: Fe 2+ is easily oxidized, droplets do not spread well on the waxy surface of leaves, and rain washes away much of the treatment.

Millions of people living in poverty rely on seagrass meadows for survival, study finds

The research found that at least 18 million people living in poverty fish in seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific. Of these, around 6.5 million are entirely dependent on the habitat for both food and fishing-related income. The study also revealed that households living in extreme poverty were significantly more likely to rely on seagrass meadows for all their fishing activities. Seagrass-depe
