The Earth's land surface is dominated by sloping landscapes. Every year, soil erosion laterally distributes on the order of 75 Gt of topsoil (Berhe et al. 2007). The coupled biogeochemical cycles of ...
Viruses in different life cycles can promote elemental cycling (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) by viral lysing or auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) metabolisms. Viruses can increase microbial ...
Similar processes are likely for other essential trace elements, such as iron or manganese, which are crucial for marine ecosystems and the carbon cycle. "Our research shows that mangroves play a ...
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Environmental and Biogeochemical Processes, a cutting-edge, open-access journal dedicated to unraveling the complex interactions between Earth’s biological, ...
We all know Earth is special, but we may not fully appreciate how good we have it on this planet. Unlike its planetary neighbors, Earth has remained habitable for billions of years thanks to a ...
Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have created a more accurate model of global carbon cycling. The model better accounts for the contributions of Earth’s terrestrial ...
Drylands cover roughly 40% of Earth’s land surface and play a major role in the global land-atmosphere carbon exchange. Most ...
LANZHOU, April 22 (Xinhua) -- A new study by Chinese scientists has revealed how cryospheric degradation affects carbon and nitrogen cycles on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, providing key data for ...
