Tracking Star-forming Cores as Mass Reservoirs in Clustered and Isolated Regions Using Numerical Passive Tracer Particles by Shingo Nozaki, Hajime Fukushima, Kazuki Tokuda, Masahiro N. Machida

“…Our findings reveal that star-forming cores do not necessarily coincide with high-density regions when nearby stars are present, as gas selectively accretes onto protostars, leading to clumpy, fragmented structures. We calculated convex hull cores from star-forming cores and defined their filling factors. …”

Three local plants adapt to ecological restoration of abandoned lead-zinc mines through assembly of rhizosphere bacterial communities by Wei Gao, Shuyi Chen, Xin Yu, Sumin Chen, Caijing Wan, Ying Wang, Peng Wu, Qiang Li

“…Following the planting of the three types of ecologically restored plants, the soil bacterial community structure partially recovered. In addition, different plants have been found to have different functions in the lead-zinc ecological restoration process, including iron complex transport system-permitting proteins and ATP binding cassettes.DiscussionThis study confirms for the first time that plants adapt to the remediation process of abandoned lead-zinc mines by non-randomly assembling rhizosphere bacterial communities and functions, providing a reference for screening microbial remediation bacterial resources and plant microbe joint bioremediation strategies for lead-zinc mines.…”
