Microbial community succession is a fundamental process that affects underlying functions
of almost all ecosystems; yet the roles and fates of the most abundant colonizers are often …

Hyporheic zones (HZ) are active biogeochemical regions where groundwater and surface
water mix. N transformations in HZ sediments were investigated in columns with a focus on …

Understanding drivers of permafrost microbial community composition is critical for
understanding permafrost microbiology and predicting ecosystem responses to thaw. We …

Lakes turn meromictic, when mixing and deep recirculation are insufficient to homogenize
the water body and remove chemical gradients. A deepwater layer “the monimolimnion” is …

Many microorganisms are unable to synthesize essential B vitamin-related enzyme
cofactors de novo. The underlying mechanisms by which such microbes survive in multi …

Abstract The Cariboo Plateau in central British Columbia, Canada, hosts the largest aerial
extent of low temperature lacustrine magnesite in the world. Magnesite was the most …

The structures of interfaces of nano-and microscale objects in an aqueous solution are
important for a wide variety of physical, chemical, and biological processes. Vibrational sum …

Productivity is a major determinant of ecosystem diversity. Microbial ecosystems are the
most diverse on the planet yet very few relationships between diversity and productivity have …

Catalyst design with a “Co–N–C” structure at the atomic level has shown great interest for
peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation toward advanced oxidation water treatment. Here, we …

Phototrophic mat communities are model ecosystems for studying energy cycling and
elemental transformations because complete biogeochemical cycles occur over millimeter …
