Controls on variation of soil organic carbon concentrationin the shrublands of the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau
January 28, 2021 Assessment of soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration in high-altitude shrublands is essential for understanding C dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems.Hence, we investigated the SOC concentration and its influencing fa...
Precipitation rather than evapotranspiration determines the warm-season water supply in an alpine shrub and an alpine meadow
January 14, 2021 Quantified for alpine catchments with different vegetation types. This paper presented a multi-year time series of evapotranspiration (ET) and water supply (precipitation minus ET) during the warm-season (June to Sept...
Early-Warning Measures for Ecological Security in the Qinghai Alpine Agricultural Area
January 12, 2021 The study area of this paper is the Qinghai alpine agricultural mountain area. An ecological security early-warning model is used to identify the early warning signs of ecosystem destruction, environmental pollution a...
WTAP Function in Sertoli Cells Is Essential for Sustaining the Spermatogonial Stem Cell Niche
October 14, 2020 We firstly examined the expression of m6A methyltransferases WTAP, METTL3, and METTL14 in mouse testis. Immunofluorescent staining revealed that METTL3 or METTL14 was co-localized with WTAP in germ cells and Sertoli c...
