The process of soil genesis unfolds as pioneering microbial communities colonize mineral substrates, enriching them with biomolecules released from bedrock. The resultant intricate surface units emerge from a complex interplay among microbiota and pl...

In the early Cambrian period, a severe greenhouse effect subjected the Gondwanan continents to accelerated erosion, enriching oceanic waters with essential nutrients, including phosphate, silicon, calcium, magnesium, iron, and trace elements. The nut...

The enrichment of organic matter in marine shale is a complex process involving tectonic–sedimentary interactions. The tectonic setting exerts critical control over sediment provenance, marine biota, and subaqueous environmental conditions in s...

The remarkable conservation of soft tissues within Cambrian fossils has significantly enhanced our comprehension of the origins and evolutionary trajectories of animals, in addition to the progression of ecological intricacy. Here, we report an excep...

The Xiangxi UNESCO Global Geopark (XUGG) contained the largest karst red stone forest landscape and the Global Standard Stratotype-section and Points (GSSPs) in the Cambrian System. Those geoheritage contribute to a better understanding of Earth&rsqu...

The Cambrian–Ordovician Plankton Revolution played a crucial role in the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) or Ordovician Radiation, as a driver of diversification. The emergence of new planktonic species enhanced primary producti...

It is increasingly likely that many non-communicable diseases of humans and associated animals are due to the degradation of their intestinal microbiomes, a situation often referred to as dysbiosis. An analysis of the resultant diseases offers an opp...
