This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Methane (CH₄) is regarded as an important greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 25 times higher than CO₂. Soil methanogens – organisms that generate CH₄ in the soil – participate in complex interactions, which determine the community structures and functions. Better understanding patterns in these interactions will help to address issues surrounding methane emissions. A recent study evaluated methane emissions and methanogenic archaeal communities. Beginning in rice paddies across Asia, a major source of CH₄ emissions. researchers measured archaea from 429 soil samples in 13 different regions in China. They found that network topological properties – which were correlated with mean annual temperature – were the chief predictor of CH₄ emissions. Methanogenic groups involved in commonly occurring links in the co-occurrence networks contributed the highest proportion of CH₄..."

"Plants are intimately connected to the microbiomes they host. These microbial communities provide plants with nutrients. and protection from environmental stress. While scientists know that plant-derived factors shape the composition of microbiomes. it’s unclear whether host evolution also plays a role. To find out, researchers recently investigated seeds of the genus Oryza, the common rice plant. They examined the effects of speciation and domestication of rice on seed microbiomes. and found that speciation gave rise to distinct communities of bacteria and fungi in seeds. Similarly, domestication tended to produce variations in the composition of fungal communities while conserving bacterial communities. These findings indicate that while evolutionary processes can affect microbiome composition in random fashion. the environmental changes that accompany domestication contribute to the assembly of microbiomes in deterministic ways..."

Rating
0.0 stars

This subject examines the experiences of ordinary Chinese people as they lived through the tumultuous changes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We look at personal narratives, primary sources, films alongside a textbook to think about how individual and family lives connect with the broader processes of change in modern China. In the readings and discussions, you should focus on how major political events have an impact on the characters' daily lives, and how the decisions they make cause large-scale social transformation.
