Decomposition rate and stabilization across six tundra vegetation types exposed to >20 years of warming by Sarneel, Judith M.

“…However, climate change is expected to induce changes that directly or indirectly affect decomposition. We examined the direct effects of long-term warming relative to differences in soil abiotic properties associated with vegetation type on litter decomposition across six subarctic vegetation types. …”

Repositioning of the global epicentre of non-optimal cholesterol by Taddei, Cristina

“…However, the trends of HDL and non-HDL cholesterol levels over time have not been previously reported in a global analysis. Here we pooled 1,127 population-based studies that measured blood lipids in 102.6 million individuals aged 18 years and older to estimate trends from 1980 to 2018 in mean total, non-HDL and HDL cholesterol levels for 200 countries. …”
