Increasing evidence indicates that the loss of soil microbial α‐diversity triggered by environmental stress negatively impacts microbial functions; however, the effects of microbial α‐diversity on community functions under environmental stress are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the changes in bacterial and fungal α‐ diversity along gradients of five natural stressors (temperature, precipitation, plant diversity, soil...

Microbes acquire energy to sustain their survival and function through the decomposition of organic carbon (C) or by oxidizing atmospheric trace gases (e.g., H 2 , CO, CH 4 ). However, how these two microbial energy‐acquisition strategies change along environmental gradients and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study investigated the energy strategies and genomic traits of soil microbiomes along a natural aridity gr...

As seafarers are involved in Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), except for those in the fourth level of autonomy, the decision making of autonomous berthing should be carried out and be understood by human beings. This paper proposes a fuzzy logic-based human-like decision-making method for ultra-large ship berthing, which considers locations, ship particulars and the natural environment, and these factors are treated a...
