Methane Concentration in the Heartwood of Living Trees and Estimated Methane Emission on Stems in Upland Forests
The stems of living trees in upland forests might contribute to the global methane (CH4) source, but the contribution is poorly understood. We investigated CH4 concentration in the heartwood of living trees in do...

BMP2 Modified by the m6A Demethylation Enzyme ALKBH5 in the Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum Through the AKT Signaling Pathway
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) is characterized by a process of ectopic bone formation in the ligamentum flavum. The definitive pathophysiology of OLF still remains unclear, but the epigenetic m6A mo...

Microbial methane production is affected by secondary metabolites in the heartwood of living trees in upland forests
This paper shows that CH4 produced in the heartwood of living trees in upland forests is of microbial origin, and that microbial CH4 production may be suppressed in the heartwood with more phenolic compounds than...
