Long-term exposure to PM2.5-bound metals and female breast cancer incidence in New Mexico, USANARA Subscribed
Female breast cancer (FBC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant cancer and the second leading cancer cause of death among women in the United States. Environmental exposures, particularly PM 2.5 -bound metals, have been increasingly associated with breast cancer incidence. We evaluated associations between long-term residential exposure to PM 2.5 -bound metals and age-adjusted FBC incidence rate at the census tract level i...
Synergistic Interactions Between Warming and Elevated Atmospheric CO 2 Increase Soil Organic Carbon SequestrationNARA Subscribed
Warming and elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) are two potentially opposing climate‐carbon (C) feedback mechanisms that modulate the magnitude of the land C sink, with warming decreasing and eCO 2 increasing C sequestration. However, their net effect on soil organic C (SOC)—the largest terrestrial C stock—remains uncertain. Here, we quantify how warming, eCO 2 , and their interactions influence SOC by using 5558 paired observations from 1...
Precision measurement of the Ds*+-Ds+ meson mass differenceNARA Subscribed
Purpose Lung and bronchus cancer (LBC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. This study examines the relationship between exposure to industrial air pollution and lung and bronchus cancer survival (LBCS) in New Mexico, USA, from 1990 to 2019. Methods This retrospective cohort study included data from 18, 273 lung and bronchus cancer patients. Residential exposure to nine industrial air pollutants was estimated for eac...
Population Genomics of a Cosmopolitan Weed Provides Insights Into Its Local Adaptation and Recent Demographic HistoryNARA Subscribed
Invasive plant species present a growing ecological and economic challenge, and often adapt rapidly to their novel environments through complex demographic and evolutionary processes. Invasion genomics offers powerful tools to disentangle these processes, but most studies rely on geographically narrow sampling across native and non‐native ranges. Erigeron canadensis is a cosmopolitan weed native to North America that has succe...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is vital for food security and climate mitigation. However, its long‐term response to fertilisation remains unclear. Using the 180‐year Broadbalk Experiment (the world's longest‐running fertilisation trial; Rothamsted, UK), combined with 14 C labelling and metagenomics, we identified fundamentally distinct mechanisms of SOC accumulation: a microbially mediated dual pathway under organic...
Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon reservoirs, yet the depth‐resolved impacts of warming on belowground carbon dynamics remain poorly understood. Over the course of an 8‐year in situ experiment, we investigated plant‐derived carbon inputs, soil carbon losses via respiration, and microbially mediated carbon fixation across a 60 cm soil profile under a projected 2°C atmospheric warming scenario. Plant carbon fixation (abo...
Precipitation variability interacts with mean precipitation to restructure a semiarid grassland communityNARA Subscribed
Climate forecasts project change not only in the mean of climate variables but also in their variance. If these dual changes interact, then future ecological dynamics will be difficult to predict using current experimental approaches, which typically change the mean or impose a single extreme event, such as drought. We designed a new field experiment to factorially reduce mean precipitation and increase its interannual variabi...
