Understanding how soil microorganisms influence the direction and magnitude of soil carbon feedback to global warming is vital to predict future climate change. Although microbial activities are major contributors to soil respiration (RS ) and its temperature sensitivity (Q10 ), the mechanisms ...
What are the impacts of ocean acidification on marine microbes? How might trawling affect marine biodiversity? How does climate change affect marine life? How does ocean acidification affect jellyfish? How does the thermocline of a body of water affect fishing?
How does ocean warming affect coral reefs? How does UV radiation affect phytoplankton? How does ocean acidification affect non-calcifiers? How does global warming affect ocean salinity? How are pteropods affected by ocean acidification? How do microbes consuming phytoplankton affect oxygen?
One explanation could be that microbial communities of litter admixture contain a higher proportion of sensitive microbes to stressful conditions (after transfer in Algeria) than those of Pinus halepensis litter, which may have led to higher microbial mortality in litter admixture (decrease in MB). ...
A greater understanding of how plants and microbes work together to store vast amounts of atmospheric carbon in the soil will help in the design of better bioenergy crops for the fight against climate change. Deciphering the mechanics of this mutually beneficial relationship is challenging,...
Plankton are susceptible to virus infection, the team noted, and DNA viruses are increasingly recognized as influencing marine microbes and microbe-mediated biogeochemical cycling. However, little is known about global marine RNA virus diversity, ecology, and ecosystem roles. “Despite literature increasin...
rust diseases (Agrios2008). Additionally, mites can influence the dynamics of insect-fungal mutualisms by enhancing fungal transmission, reproduction, and survival. They may achieve this by feeding on antagonistic fungi or promoting microbes that reduce insect-pathogenic fungi (Hofstetter and Moser2014)...
But how on Earth, or under it, do microbes generate electricity simply by consuming and metabolizing food? As with love or baking, it all comes down to chemistry. Broadly speaking, MFCs work by separating two halves of an electro-biochemical process (metabolism) and wiring them together into ...
the earthworm's five hearts. The vessels absorb and distribute nutrients from the food. On its way out, microbes living in the worm may attach to the dirt and remaining organic material, and the entire package is deposited as worm feces, calledcastings. These castings may be deposited within...
How does the environment affect Colombia's biodiversity loss? How is habitat fragmentation related to biodiversity loss? How does climate change affect the biodiversity of marine ecosystems? How does loss of biodiversity affect agriculture? How do wolves impact biodiversity and ecosystem services?
