As a part of the global material flow , the global dispersion of persistent organic pollutants ( POPs ) is also regulated by forests .In theory , the forest plays as a " sink " and delays the transport of POPs to remote/cold regions .For example , from a global perspective , what is the distribution of POPs in forests ? How will forest changes influence the global transport of POPs ? To answer these questions , Dr . Ping Gong from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research .

Soils on the Tibetan Plateau are extremely sensitive to global climate change .The lack of understanding of soil organic matter ( SOM ) transformation processes in this region hinders the prediction of SOM stocks under future climate conditions .Recently , Prof . Gengxin Zhang ’ s group of Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research , Chinese Academy of Sciences studied the responses of the alpine SOM to global climate change , including Nitrogen ( N ) deposition , warming and increased precipitation .

The rare biosphere contains microorganisms that present in low abundance .These rare microorganisms represent the majority of the Earth ' s biodiversity and are responsible for ecosystem multifunctionality and act as the “ seed bank ” during ecological restoration .However , the diversity and biogeography of rare microorganisms are still poorly understood in the terrestrial ecosystem .Fig . 4 Correlations between the community composition and phylogeny for rare and abundant bacteria ？.

Although biodiversity and ecosystem functions are strongly shaped by contemporary environments , such as climate , local biotic and abiotic attributes , we know relatively little about how they change along with long-term geological processes .The integration of geological processes with environmental gradients could enhance our understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across different climatic zones . ？ ？ Further studies are encouraged to study the legacies of past geological events on biological communities and ecosystem functions .

Chinese Academy of Sciences has led a study to image the small-scale structure of the D ' ' layer beneath the India-Eurasian plate collision zone . ？ ？ This study is mainly based on the waveform data of eight earthquakes in the Indian Ocean recorded by the dense China Digital Seismic Network ( Figure 1b ) .The median value of δ t3D is - 1.75 s and 95% of the values fall between - 4.57 s and + 1.63 s . ( b ) Values of dVs plotted at the CMB reflection points of ScS . ( c ) Map of dVs after cap smoothing using caps with radii of 2o and cap centers spaced every 0.5o .

Many researches reported that warming alters soil freeze-thaw ( F-T ) process during winter in cold regions , such as the start and end dates , frequency and intensity .And how these changes will affect the annual ecosystem respiration . ？ They found that warming delayed the start and end dates of F-T events during the freezing period , and advanced them during the thawing period .Periods ？ ？ Figure3 Mean total ecosystem respiration ( Re ) during the thawed period and annually.
