Summary: In this study, we investigated the drought mitigating effects of the beneficial fungus Piriformospora indica on rice plants under varying moisture stress. Our results showed that under extremely severe stress, colonized plants exhibited significant improvements in growth and yield. Colonized plants had deeper root depth and higher root volume under severe stress, which contributed to better performance in terms of growth and yield. Colonization by the beneficial fungus also increased lateral root production, resulting in a greater area for water and nutrient absorption. Additionally, colonization improved phosphorus acquisition and water use efficiency of the plants.

Summary: This study evaluated the correlations among root mechanical properties, root chemical compositions, and root parameters traits, and the effects of root traits on soil shear resistance in climax community species on the Loess Plateau. The study found that over 65% of the root parameter traits were distributed in the upper 20 cm of the soil and decreased with increasing soil layer. Plant roots enhanced the soil cohesion and the soil cohesion was negatively correlated with the soil layers. The root-soil composite cohesion can be explained by root surface area density (RSAD), root length density (RLD), and root diameter (D). This study provides theoretical guidance and data accumulation for the mechanical traits, soil reinforcement, and slope stability of climax community species roots in the Loess Plateau.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamics of water ages in plant transpiration under different climates and rooting depths. Using stable isotope compositions, the researchers estimate variations in root-zone water replenishment and quantify water ages in transpiration. The results show that water ages in transpiration are highly dynamic and influenced by climate patterns and rooting depth. Climate determines the source of plant water, with wet climates relying more on current month precipitation and dry climates relying on precipitation from previous months/seasons.

Summary: The use of species with coloured roots and indirect tracer uptake measurements contributes to the success of studying root growth dynamics in intercropping systems. The root intensity of red beet is not significantly affected by strip intercropping when crops are established simultaneously, but a reduction in roots at the border row is observed when established between existing lucerne strips. Both lucerne and kale are capable of exploiting the deep soil layers beneath the red beet border row.

Summary: This study investigates high-resolution magnetic properties as paleoclimatic proxies in loess-paleosol sequences, using magnetic susceptibility and luminescence dating to identify characteristics of global climatic transitions. The results highlight the regional response to major climatic transitions and the continuous eolian dust accumulation and soil formation processes in loess regions across the northern hemisphere. Combining magnetic susceptibility with absolute dating provides a more accurate understanding of Pleistocene-Holocene climatic transitions, avoiding potential misinterpretations in records due to simple pattern correlations.

Summary: The Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2 is regarded as the coldest, driest, and stormiest period during the last Glacial-Interglacial cycle in Eurasia. However, a new loess record from the Caucasus region in NE-Armenia suggests heavily reduced or even lacking loess formation during this period, potentially due to modifications in circulation modes induced by higher regional moisture conditions. By comparing with other paleo-records, general atmospheric circulation modes responsible for loess formation in the Southern Caucasus are revealed, showcasing a heterogeneous moisture distribution during MIS-2 in the lower mid-latitudes of Eurasia.

Summary: Leaf cuticular waxes play a crucial role in reducing evapotranspiration, but it remains unclear how mature trees adjust their wax biosynthesis to changing conditions. In this study, we investigated the formation of wax constituents in sun-exposed and shaded branches of mature European beech tree during the late summer. Our results showed ongoing modifications in the composition of n-alkanes and fatty acids, indicating de-novo biosynthesis. Moreover, sun-exposed leaves had higher concentrations of n-alkanes and invested more assimilated carbon into lipids than shaded leaves.

Summary: The North Atlantic jet stream has a significant impact on the climate of the North Atlantic-European region, particularly in winter. Recent observations have shown that the winter jet stream has strengthened over the past 140 years, and this trend has deviated from natural variability. Researchers have discovered that the appearance of the North Atlantic warming hole, caused by anthropogenic forcing, is the most likely explanation for this anomalous trend. Continued global warming may further strengthen the jet stream in the future.

Summary: This paper discusses the use of two different approaches, nuclear model and erosion potential method, for soil erosion assessment. The study focuses on complex valley systems on the Titel Loess Plateau. Radiocaesium is used as a tracer for erosion due to its long half-life and ability to bind to soil particles. The use of gamma-spectrometry allows for precise and fast measurement of Cs-137 activity concentrations. The results show low soil erosion rates in the investigated area, and correlation analysis reveals the different influences of slope, terrain curvature, and vegetation index on the erosion models.

Summary: Through sediment records from Lake Nanyi in the lower Yangtze, we found that anthropogenic fire activity played a dominant role in the region, and the temporal pattern of fire activity was asynchronous from east to west. Archaeological evidence suggests an inverse relationship between agricultural and population levels and fire intensity during the mid-Holocene, with fire intensity being influenced by the diversity of landscape types associated with pre-historic subsistence patterns. Overall, changes in regional water-level delayed the transition from hunting-gathering to agriculture in the lower Yangtze region.

Summary: This paper argues that sessile barnacles are an excellent proxy for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. The shells of barnacles consist of diagenetically stable low-magnesium calcite and record short-term variations. Analyses of several Western Mediterranean barnacle-rich deposits demonstrate the utility of barnacles as proxies for water depth, distance from the coastline, and hydrodynamic conditions. Moreover, the stable isotope ratios of barnacle shells can provide detailed palaeoenvironmental information.

Summary: The Late Ordovician mass extinction occurred during an ice age, with maximum ice coverage and a substantial drop in global sea level. This led to the exposure or shallowing of shallow tropical shelf environments. The study suggests that the burial rate of nutrient phosphorus (P) on shelves was minimal during this glacial period, leading to excess bioavailable P entering the open ocean and stimulating phytoplankton production, which in turn lowered oxygen concentrations.
