Rewetted fen peatlands - novel and essential for climate protection
Peatlands store twice as much carbon as all the biomass of the World’s forests. Vast areas of peatland have been drained and turned into CO2 sources. Their rewetting is essential to reduce CO2 emissions. But how exactly do the rewetted peatlands look like, do they resemble again the natural state?
A journey to the Early Cretaceous dinosaur world
How the regional tectonics influence the biosphere in deep time? We discuss the development of the well-known Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota, and suggest its the spatio-temporal evolutioncoincides with the initial and peak stages of the North China craton (NCC) destruction in the Early Cretaceous.
Leaving a legacy
Plants and soil organisms are tightly linked. In fact, plant species leave distinct local legacies in the soil and its microbiome. It was unknown how long these legacies persist, and what happens to it when new plants colonize soil with a legacy. In our new study, we tried to answer these questions.
