Short‐term meteorological observations often limit our understanding of regional climate change over historical periods. Dendroclimatology provides an effective means for overcoming this limitation by extending the climate record. In China, most tree‐ring studies focus on coniferous species. But this study innovatively combines both Liaodong oak and Chinese pine trees to establish a new synthesis chronology in the East Qinling...

The neurotoxicity of Semen Strychni has been reported recently in several clinical cases. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the role of HMGB1 in a model of neurotoxicity induced by Semen Strychni and to assess the potential alleviating effects of glycyrrhizic acid (GA), which is associated with the regulation of HMGB1 release. Forty-eight SD rats were intraperitoneally injected with Semen Strychni extract (175...

To achieve long‐term increases in soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, it is essential to understand the effects of carbon management strategies on SOC formation pathways, particularly through changes in microbial necromass carbon (MNC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Using a 14‐year field study, we demonstrate that both biochar and maize straw lifted the SOC ceiling, but through different pathways. Biochar, while raising SO...
