Degrading pyrogenic (fire-affected) organic matter is an important ecosystem function of fungi in post-fire environments.
Scientists identify key features in microbes that predict how warming affects carbon dioxide emissions.
A few common bacteria use most of the carbon in soil
Bacteria collection opens new directions for research on cottonwoods, poplars, and other trees useful for biofuel and other applications.
Ecological assembly and source tracking models characterize the initial assembly of the poplar microbiome across plant-associated habitats.
Identification of an enzyme that microbes deploy in the presence of plants leads to discovery of candidate genes involved in root colonization.
A novel mathematical formulation accurately solves water flow in geometrically complicated soil structures, including overturned soil layers and other disturbances.
An enzyme system frees sulfur from small organic compounds to make a surprising gaseous side product.
In natural soil, predatory bacteria grow faster than their prey.
Novel multi-sensor drone imagery enhances our understanding of the spatial patterns of Arctic vegetation.
The tropical Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) rainfall pattern brings change to non-tropical parts of the United States.
Turbulent air in the atmosphere affects how cloud droplets form. New research changes the way scientists model clouds and, therefore, climate.
