How is a community different than an ecosystem? What influences an ecological community? What is the difference between ecological and carbon footprint? What is the difference between ecosystem services and ecosystem functions? What is the difference between environment and habitat?
The annual mean heterotrophic community biomass from three ensemble experiments using the General Ecosystem Model (GEM) mapped spatially showing a the Pleistocene world, b the difference between the Pleistocene world and Modern world and c Future world. The implications of this downsizing for the funct...
Precipitation-based assessments show a lengthening of tropical dry seasons under climate change, without considering simultaneous changes in ecosystem water demand. Here, we compare changes in tropical dry season length and timing when dry season is defi
The changing modes of NPP and LAI of different latitudes are the same no matter which referring method is used. However, vegetation and climate transformations have various impacts on NPP and LAI. The difference of LAI was remarkable in the higher latitude area, while the difference of NPP was...

1). In this review, we will discuss how each group individually influences the host immune system, how intestinal colonization or infection is impacted by other members of the multibiome, and how crosstalk between members of the multibiome and the host influences local and systemic immune ...
Here, we use pollen data from Wulagai Lake, Inner Mongolia, to reconstruct vegetation and climate changes since the middle MIS 3. The steppe biome is reconstructed as the first dominant biome and the desert biome as the second, and the results show that the vegetation was steppe over the ...
For remotely sensed data, we obtained Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS 2017) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data layers at 250 m spatial resolution from 2012 to 2016 for the region. The MODIS data consist of gridded vegetation index maps that depict temporal and ...
We next explored how microbial community composition varies across cryospheric ecosystems. Using similarity analyses, we found that the microbiome composition differed significantly between cryospheric ecosystem types (PERMANOVA,r2 = 0.183,p < 0.001; pairwise.adonis,p < 0.001 for all pairwi...
To what concerns human gut MAGs, the difference in amplitude in defense system densities across different countries is more subtle (albeit often significant) and harder-to-interpret compared to other environments. While there is a strong trend in the literature supporting a gradual reduction in micro...
