How Do Changes in Grassland Phenology and Its Responses to Extreme Climatic Events in Central Asia? by Xinwei Wang, Jianhao Li, Jianghua Zheng, Liang Liu, Xiaojing Yu, Ruikang Tian, Mengxiang Xing

“…Extreme climate events have become more frequent under global warming, significantly affecting vegetation phenology and carbon cycles in Central Asia. However, the mediating effects of intensity of compound drought and heat events (CDHEs) and compound moisture and heat events (CMHEs) on grassland phenology and their trends in the relative contributions to grassland phenology over time have remained unclear. …”

Effect of folic acid supplementation on diminished ovarian reserve: study protocol of a single-centre, open-label, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial by Yan Wang, Ling Zheng, Kaijun Liao, Dongli Lu, Jiaxin Wu, Binjin Wu, Zhaochun Wu, Zhenghua Jiang

“…Folic acid, a member of the vitamin B family, is involved in one-carbon cycle and methylation regulation. It has been found that folic acid affects the whole period of pregnancy, and folic acid supplementation has shown effective to remarkably reduce the incidence of fetal neural tube defects and decrease plasma homocysteic acid levels, thereby resulting in a decline in the incidence of abortion. …”

Some utilisation options for cattle dung as soil amendment and their effects in coarse-textured Ultisols and maize growth by Solange Ndzeshala, Sunday Obalum, Charles Igwe

“…Cattle dung (CD) is hugely generated but underutilised due to its high carbon-nitrogen ratio and low mineralisation rate compared with poultry droppings (PD), hence the need to enhance CD's efficacy.Method Effects of CD utilisation options on fertility of sandy-loam Ultisols and maize growth were assessed under glasshouse conditions. …”

Spatial and seasonal distribution of selected nitrogen cycle genes in deep waters of the Baltic Proper by Michał Grabski, Michał Grabski, Ewa Kotlarska, Aneta Łuczkiewicz, Konrad Hryniewicz, Grzegorz Węgrzyn, Beata Szymczycha

“…It indirectly regulates primary production and influences the strength of the biological pump, which contributes to the oceanic uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). As the microbial community structure and functional capacities remain underestimated in terms of temporal and geographical coverage in the Baltic Sea, our understanding of the nitrogen cycle with respect to ecosystem functioning and climate change is limited. …”
