The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the continuous process that describes the movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface.
Genomic reconstructions of the common ancestor to all life have identified genes involved in H2O2 and O2 cycling. Commonly dismissed as an artefact of lateral gene transfer after oxygenic photosynthesis evolved, an alternative is a geological source of H

Xenobiotic is a term referring to unnatural or foreign compounds, including polycyclic hydrocarbons, pollutants, antibiotics, polyaromatic, chlorinated and nitroaromatic compounds found in the biosphere [79,80]. Some of these compounds can be very toxic, but can be transformed into less toxic compounds...
the scale-up of solar-powered industries is a key focus. Over billions of years, single-celled green algae (microalgae) have evolved to tap into it and support the biosphere through the production of oxygen and biomass, which consists of a complex set of biomolecules. These provide us with ...
The Bissagos Archipelago is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Adobe Stock Made up of 88 islands, of which just 23 are inhabited, this magical archipelago situated around 48 kilometers off the Guinea coast of western Africa is as unique as it gets. The Bissagos Islands are run by a matriarchal...
