The history of Earth’s sulfur cycle
Sulfur is a critical component of Earth’s surface evolution owing to its dynamic roles as a redox buffer and nutrient as well as forming the bas…
Emerging opportunities and research questions for green ammonia adoption in agriculture and beyond
Decentralizing fertilizer production The fertilizer industry is historically centralized and carbon intensive, but green ammonia technologies decouple fertilizer production from fossil fuels and enable small-scale…
Microbial controls over soil priming effects under chronic nitrogen and phosphorus additions in subtropical forests
The soil priming effect (PE), defined as the modification of soil organic matter decomposition by labile carbon (C) inputs, is known to influence C…
Community composition and physiological plasticity control microbial carbon storage across natural and experimental soil fertility gradients
Many microorganisms synthesise carbon (C)-rich compounds under resource deprivation. Such compounds likely serve as intracellular C-storage pools t…
Ecogenomics and cultivation reveal distinctive viral-bacterial communities in the surface microlayer of a Baltic Sea slick
Visible surface films, termed slicks, can extensively cover freshwater and marine ecosystems, with coastal regions being particularly susceptible t…
