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 ...
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 ...
Global change driven by anthropogenic pressures has profoundly affected ocean biogeochemical cycles. Natural fluxes have been disrupted due to imbalances, often in excess, of key elements like carbon, ...
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 ...
