The Jiangnan Orogen has long been recognized as an ideal location for Precambrian geologists to study Neoproterozoic tectonic movements. However, the paleogeographic location of the South China Craton within the Rodinia supercontinent and the associated geodynamic mechanisms remain contentious. This research presents results from Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) zircon U–Pb dating, whole‐...

The rice rhizosphere microbiota is crucial for crop yields and nutrient use efficiency. However, little is known about how co‐occurrence patterns, keystone taxa and functional gene assemblages relate to soil pH in the rice rhizosphere soils. Using shotgun metagenome analysis, the rice rhizosphere microbiome was investigated across 28 rice fields in east‐central China. At higher pH sites, the taxonomic co‐occurrence network of...
