Waterlogging of soil induces diverging rates of senescence in Svalbard reindeer forage plants by Emilie K. S. Andersen, Samantha P. H. Dwinnell, Leif Egil Loe, Caroline Iveland, René van der Wal

“…In “saturated” (waterlogged) plots, 40 percent of initial grass biomass remained green until the end of the experiment (onset of snow and frost), compared to <10 percent in “elevated soil moisture” and “control” plots. These results indicate that soil moisture moderates rates of plant senescence, with some species benefiting from saturated soils. …”

Alteration of fecal microbiome and metabolome by mung bean coat improves diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice by Dianzhi Hou, Jian Tang, Meili Huan, Fang Liu, Sumei Zhou, Qun Shen

“…Furthermore, MBC significantly prevented the HFD-induced changes in the structure and composition of gut microbiota, characterized by promoting the bloom of Akkermansia, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, and norank_f_Muribaculaceae, and along with the elevated short-chain fatty acids concentrations. Non-targeted metabolomic analysis indicated a metabolism disorder that was obviously improved by MBC via regulating sphingolipid metabolism and α-linolenic acid metabolism. …”
