“…Objectives To describe the incidence of adverse events (AEs), reactogenicity symptoms, menstrual changes and overall self-rated improvement in health and well-being after COVID-19 vaccination.Design VAC4COVID is an ongoing prospective, active observational, post-authorisation cohort safety study (PASS) of UK-approved vaccines for COVID-19 disease.Setting The study is conducted through a secure website (www.vac4covid.com) by MEMO Research, University of Dundee, UK.Participants 16 265 adult (18 years or older) UK residents with a valid email address and internet access.Interventions Any UK-authorised COVID-19 vaccination.Main outcome measures The outcomes reported in this interim analysis include AEs, reactogenicity-type AEs (headache, fatigue, muscle or joint pain, fever, nausea, dizziness or local vaccine reaction), menstrual changes and reported improvement in overall health and well-being.Results 11 475 consented participants (mean age 54.8 years) provided follow-up data between 2 February and 5 October 2021 (mean follow-up duration 184 days), by which date 89.2% of participants had received two vaccine doses. 89.8% of 5222 participants who completed a follow-up questionnaire in the 7 days after any COVID-19 vaccination reported no AEs. …”

Coexistence of multiple leaf nutrient resorption strategies in urban forests by Pin Li, Zejin Wang, Kun Ran

“…These analyses revealed that nutrient limitation and nutrient concentration control strategies were nutrient-dependent, engaged in the context of N, P, and K resorption, whereas stoichiometric control was involved in the resorption of all analyzed nutrients other than Ca, coexisting with nutrient limitation control. The resorption activity of evergreen needle-leaf trees and ectomycorrhizal trees was found to primarily rely on stoichiometric control rather than nutrient limitation, whereas stoichiometry and nutrient limitation control strategies were both employed by deciduous broadleaf trees and arbuscular mycorrhizal trees, supporting their ability to adapt to changing environmental nutrient availability. …”

Tracing Aquatic Macrophyte Development in Nansi Lake, Northern China's Largest Freshwater Lake: Plant Macrofossils From 1855 to Present by Qinghui Zhang, Yufei Wu, Liwei Yang, Zekun Li, Zonglei Li, Yuying Yang, Shiyue Chen, Enfeng Liu

“…Multiple factor analysis was employed to investigate the correlation between these shifts and changes in paleolimnological indicators (invertebrates, geochemistry, and grain size), as well as documented records related to hydrology, climate changes, and human activities. The results confirmed our hypothesis that climatically and anthropogenically induced hydrological alterations were likely the primary drivers influencing macrophyte composition alteration and succession dynamics in the lake. …”
