Methanotrophs are an important group of microorganisms that counteract methane
emissions to the atmosphere. Methane-oxidising bacteria of the Alpha-and …

Peatlands cover about 3% of the Earth's surface and are regarded as a vital carbon (C) pool
and sink. The formation of peatland is supported by continuously supplied nitrogen (N) but …

Peat mosses of the genus Sphagnum are ecosystem engineers that frequently predominate
over photosynthetic production in boreal peatlands. Sphagnum spp. host diverse microbial …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses a considerable threat to human health through grain
enrichment and limits biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in paddy fields. Biochar has shown …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) performed by diazotrophs is vital to our understanding of
ecosystem functions, as plant nitrogen (N) is commonly a limiting nutrient for primary …

Globally, major efforts are being made to restore peatlands to maximise their resilience to
anthropogenic climate change, which puts continuous pressure on peatland ecosystems …

Sphagnum mosses are keystone plant species in the peatland ecosystems that play a
crucial role in the formation of peat, which shelters a broad diversity of endophytic bacteria …

Sphagnum mosses are considered peatland engineers because of their ability to create
conditions inducing carbon accumulation. Here, we report on a review of the effects of four …

The dynamics of methane concentrations in the atmosphere in recent decades has
demonstrated many anomalies which are poorly understood. The only biological way of …

Bidens pilosa is recognized as one of the major invasive plants in China. Its invasion has
been associated with significant losses in agriculture, forestry, husbandry, and biodiversity …
