Macro-environment strongly interacts with warming in a global analysis of decomposition

This study analyzes decomposition responses to warming across global macro-environmental gradients, finding that warming effects vary significantly depending on moisture and temperature, with a threshold of 5.2°C for significant decomposition increase.

Darkness inhibits autokinase activity of bacterial bathy phytochromes

This study shows that darkness increases the Pfr-form of bathy phytochromes, reducing autokinase activity, and reveals that these proteins function as light-dark sensors rather than red/far-red light sensors.

Graminoids vary in functional traits, carbon dioxide and methane fluxes in a restored peatland: implications for modeling carbon storage

The paper evaluates functional variation among graminoid species in a restored peatland and finds that carbon fluxes vary with plant traits, suggesting the need for more nuanced plant functional types in models.
