Rock weathering is a key process in global elemental cycling. Life participates in this
process with tangible consequences observed from the mineral interface to the planetary …

Mechanochemistry emerges as a promising and environment‐friendly method and has been
widely applied in synthesis of solid catalysts. The catalyst with high surface area, uniform …

The geosphere and the microbial biosphere have co-evolved for~ 3.8 Ga, with many lines of
evidence suggesting a hydrothermal habitat for life's origin. However, the extent that …

In glacier-fed streams, ecological windows of opportunity allow complex microbial biofilms to
develop and transiently form the basis of the food web, thereby controlling key ecosystem …

Fe (II)-oxidizing microorganisms and Fe (III)-reducing microorganisms, which drive the
biogeochemical Fe cycle on the Earth's surface, are phylogenetically and ecologically …

Supraglacial discharge of limiting micronutrients such as iron (Fe) into high-nutrient low-
chlorophyll (HNLC) regions like the Southern Ocean has recently drawn global attention. In …

The factors that influence biodiversity and productivity of hydrothermal ecosystems are not
well understood. Here we investigate the relationship between fluid mixing, biodiversity, and …

Microbial communities have been identified as the primary inhabitants of Arctic forefields.
However, the metabolic potential of microbial communities in these newly exposed soils …

Hydrogen (H2) is among the most common and widely utilized electron donors in microbial
metabolism. This is particularly true for microorganisms that inhabit subsurface …

The envisaged future dihydrogen (H2) economy requires a H2 gas grid as well as large
deep underground stores. However, the consequences of an unintended spread of H2 …
