Chemical hydrology, subdivision of hydrology that deals with the chemical characteristics of the water on and beneath the surface of the Earth. Water in all forms and modes of occurrence is affected chemically by the materials with which it comes into co
Hierarchical clustering of the 24,536 GCFs in marine prokaryotic genomes. Representation of the data (inner to outer layers): genome type and phylum level classification of organisms possessing the representative BGCs; the third and fourth layers indicate the class and novelty of GCFs; the outer th...
