Summary: Research comparing the ecosystem services (ESVs) of rice-fish co-culture and rice monoculture in Thailand showed that rice-fish co-culture generates more economic and ecological benefits, with the most positive change in regulating temperature and humidity. Additionally, agrotourism can provide additional revenue and enhance the ESV of the rice-fish co-culture system. Further studies are recommended to explore the potential advantages of the rice-fish system in more detail.

Summary: Rice-fish symbiosis can improve muscle nutrition, intestinal microbiota diversity, and disease resistance in tilapia. This is achieved through the interaction between gut microbiota and host metabolism, leading to improved muscle nutrient and quality. The study provides new insights into the gut microbiota-metabolism-phenotype axis and supports the promotion and application of rice-fish symbiosis in aquaculture.

Summary: This study characterized the microbial composition, community structure, and functions of several sympatric aquatic animals and the environment in the rice-fish system. Additionally, the study investigated stage-specific signatures in the gut microbiota of common carp during different developmental stages. The results revealed differences in gut microbial compositions and community structures among the aquatic species, and demonstrated changes in the gut microbiota of common carp during development.

Summary: This study investigated the pattern and mechanism of methane and carbon dioxide emissions from various types of water bodies in a typical rice cultivation region in southwestern China. The findings revealed that rivers and ditches were more sensitive to carbon emissions, and the rice production period was crucial for controlling carbon emission. Water networks in rice cultivation regions could be potential hotspots for carbon emissions, highlighting the importance of refining and promoting practices to mitigate carbon emissions in the future.

Summary: Aquaculture has the potential to feed the growing global population, but it also leads to environmental pollution. Rice-cray-fish co-culture models (RCFP) in China are eco-friendly, but little is known about their microbiome pattern. This study reveals that RCFP has advantages in nitrogen assimilation and sulfur pollutants removal, while non-RCFP produces hazardous pollutants. RCFP plays a crucial role in balancing aquaculture productivity and environmental protection.

Summary: The history of Earth's formation can be understood through the study of meteorites, rocks, and telescopic observations. This review discusses the advances in theories and evidence regarding Earth's accretion in the Solar System. According to theory, dust particles in the solar nebula stuck together to form planetesimals, which then became planets. Isotopic variations in meteorites suggest that this process occurred within the first 100,000 years of the Solar System. Earth's growth was gradual, with the majority of its mass accreted before the Moon-forming Giant Impact. Earth's chemical composition was influenced by condensation, melting, and loss. Further research is needed to explore mixing during collisions and the origin of early mantle heterogeneities.

Summary: The effects of glutinous rice paste (GRP) and fish sauce (FS) on kimchi's fermentation characteristics were investigated. The results showed that kimchi with GRP or FS had slightly higher levels of Lactobacillus compared to regular kimchi, while bacterial abundances were lower in kimchi with FS. Kimchi with GRP had higher concentrations of glucose, lactic acid, acetic acid, and ethanol, while kimchi with FS had higher concentrations of mannitol (after 30 days) and amino acids. The volatile compounds were slightly higher in kimchi with GRP or FS compared to regular kimchi, and their profiles were slightly different during the initial period but became similar during the late stages of fermentation.

Summary: Global redistribution of accumulated nutrients can enhance food security and counteract degradation of critical Earth system processes by trading accumulated nutrient rights through a 'one Earth currency'. Processing residue and sediment nutrients can help meet the needs of food-insecure regions, triggering required innovations in processing, logistics, and thinking.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effect of composite flour constituents and different extrusion temperatures on the production of analog rice, as well as community perceptions about the produced rice. The results showed that composite flour and extrusion temperature significantly affected the nutrient content of the analog rice. The best formulation of analog rice contained a Mocaf:SF ratio of 91:9 and was extruded at 70 degrees C, with high dietary fiber content and overall acceptance from respondents.
