Rewiring Rumen Hydrogen Economy: New Strategy for Methane Mitigation and Sustainable Livestock Production

Methane emissions from cattle and sheep contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions and reflect a loss of dietary energy that could otherwise support animal growth and productivity, which is a major challenge for sustainable livestock production. M ost existing approaches to reduce methane emissions focus primarily on suppressing methanogenesis. In a study published in The Innovation , a researc

New Framework Shows Expanding Ecological Decline Across Asian Drylands

A research team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has proposed a new ecosystem health framework to track long-term, consistent ecological changes across Asian drylands. Based on the framework, the team found that ecosystem health across Asian drylands declined steadily until 2012, then partially recovered after 2014. Central Asia c

Two New Species of Genus Ormosia Discovered in Guangdong

"Red berries grow in southern land, how many spring branches hold?" The red beans described by WANG Wei (701–761) in his poem have evoked the longing of the Chinese people for thousands of years. Today, right in the "southern land" mentioned in the poem—the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—a research team has unveiled the identity of two new species of this very genus.

Artificial Photosynthetic Hydrogel Microspheres Enable Programmable CO 2 Valorization

Converting carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) into glucose, myo-inositol, sucrose, starch and other valuable products has been considered an achievable process mainly through plant photosynthesis. Combining photocatalysts with carbon-fixing microorganisms faces challenges, including incompatible reaction environments, light-induced microbial damage and inefficient connections between upstream carbon fixation

Nanobubble Chemistry Enables Catalyst‑Free Ammonia Synthesis Under Mild Conditions

Ammonia is a cornerstone of global agriculture and a promising carrier for renewable energy storage. Yet nearly all of it is still produced via the Haber‑Bosch process, which operates above 400 °C and 200 atm, consumes about two percent of global energy, and emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. That is why finding a greener route under mild conditions has become a major challenge in chemistry an

Study: Forest Trees Do Little to Acclimate to Prolonged Drought

Forests support much of the world's biodiversity and play a vital role in regulating Earth's climate, but they are increasingly exposed to drought. To understand the potential consequences of drought, a key question is whether trees can acclimate to prolonged water stress by altering their physiology. Many p revious attempts to answer this question have relied on evidence from potted plants or nat

Fossil Pollen Reveals Rapid Rise of Gangdese Mountains Around 15 Million Years Ago

Understanding the uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau is key to grasping the geodynamic processes that formed the "Roof of the World," as well as its far-reaching impacts on regional and global climate and the evolution of Asian biodiversity. The Gangdese Mountains, which run along the southern margin of the Lhasa terrane, are central to this story and among the many topographic features of the

Millions of people living in poverty rely on seagrass meadows for survival, study finds

The research found that at least 18 million people living in poverty fish in seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific. Of these, around 6.5 million are entirely dependent on the habitat for both food and fishing-related income. The study also revealed that households living in extreme poverty were significantly more likely to rely on seagrass meadows for all their fishing activities. Seagrass-depe

Soil salinization poses a serious threat to global rice production. At present, the natural‑variation‑based genetic basis of rice salt tolerance remains poorly understood, and only a handful of major genes related to salt tolerance have been functionally characterized. It is critical to identify key gene modules in salt signaling pathways. In a study published in Developmental Cell on August 28, a
