The acoustic flutter is processed through complementary monotonic rate coding and cannot be modulated by other acoustic parameters in the auditory cortex (AC). However, it remains unclear how the inferior colliculus (IC) encodes acoustic flutter, especially when changing other acoustic parameters. Here, we recorded IC neural activity in response to acoustic flutter and determined the existence of conjunctive processing between...

CH 4 emissions from mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass ecosystems partially offset carbon sequestration, potentially diminishing the climate mitigation capacity of these blue carbon habitats. However, a mechanistic understanding of the processes governing CH 4 production potential across large spatial scales remains limited. By integrating incubation‐based measurements from 116 sites, we reveal significant ecosystem‐specific di...

Tidal wetlands sequester vast amounts of organic carbon (OC) and enhance soil accretion. The conservation and restoration of these ecosystems is becoming increasingly geared toward “blue” carbon sequestration while obtaining additional benefits, such as buffering sea‐level rise and enhancing biodiversity. However, the assessments of blue carbon sequestration focus primarily on bulk SOC inventories and often neglect OC fraction...
