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...

Nitrogen (N) input affects soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and storage by specifically influencing the light (LFOC) and heavy fractions of organic C (HFOC). While the effects of N input on SOC pools are known, its specific influence in arid and humid regions remains unresolved, although it is critically important to predict carbon–climate feedback and SOC accumulation. We conducted a meta‐analysis of 881 paired observations...

The global monsoon system, encompassing the Asian-Australian, African, and American monsoons, sustains two-thirds of the world’s population by regulating water resources and agriculture. Monsoon anomalies pose severe risks, including floods and droughts. Recent research associated with the implementation of the Global Monsoons Model Intercomparison Project under the umbrella of CMIP6 has advanced our understanding of its histo...
