Fungal community composition predicts forest carbon storage at a continental scale

Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel

Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how microbiome diversity is linked to forest carbon storage has been difficult, due to a lack ...

Bias-Adaptable CO2-to-CO Conversion via Tuning the Binding of Competing Intermediates

Yelin Hu, Jun Li

CO2 electroreduction powered by renewable electricity represents a promising method to enclose anthropogenic carbon cycle. Current catalysts display high selectivity toward the desired product only over a narrow potential window due primarily to unoptimize ...

Flow and epiphyte growth effects on the thermal, optical and chemical microenvironment in the leaf phyllosphere of seagrass (Zostera marina)

Anna Depetris

Intensified coastal eutrophication can result in an overgrowth of seagrass leaves by epiphytes, which is a major threat to seagrass habitats worldwide, but little is known about how epiphytic biofilms affect the seagrass phyllosphere. The physico-chemical ...

Dispersal limitations and historical factors determine the biogeography of specialized terrestrial protists

Luca Bragazza, Enrique Lara

Recent studies show that soil eukaryotic diversity is immense and dominated by micro-organisms. However, it is unclear to what extent the processes that shape the distribution of diversity in plants and animals also apply to micro-organisms. Major diversif ...

Modeling metabolic networks of individual bacterial agents in heterogeneous and dynamic soil habitats (IndiMeSH)

Dani Or, Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman

Natural soil is characterized as a complex habitat with patchy hydrated islands and spatially variable nutrients that is in a constant state of change due to wetting-drying dynamics. Soil microbial activity is often concentrated in sparsely distributed hot ...

Nitrification increases nitrogen export from a tropical river network

Janine Rüegg

Scaling aquatic ecosystem processes like nutrient removal is critical for assessing the importance of streams and rivers to watershed nutrient export. We used pulse NH4+ enrichment experiments and measured net NH4+ uptake in 7 streams throughout a mountain ...

Experiments on the effect of inflow and outflow sequences on suspended sediment exchange rates

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller

In laboratory experiments, the influence of inflow and outflow sequences on the behavior of fine sediment was investigated. The experimental set-up consisted of two interconnected rectangular basins, between which water was moved back and forth. Suspended ...

Phenotypic heterogeneity driven by nutrient limitation promotes growth in fluctuating environments

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Martin Ackermann

Most microorganisms live in environments where nutrients are limited and fluctuate over time. Cells respond to nutrient fluctuations by sensing and adapting their physiological state. Recent studies suggest phenotypic heterogeneity(1) in isogenic populatio ...

Invasion by Fallopia spp. in a French upland region is related to anthropogenic disturbances

Thomas Spiegelberger

Within Europe, mountain ecosystems are generally less invaded by exotic plant species than are lowland areas. This pattern is commonly attributed to climatic harshness, which limits invasive species presence, and higher propagule pressure and rates of dist ...

Highly Dynamic Cellular-Level Response of Symbiotic Coral to a Sudden Increase in Environmental Nitrogen

Anders Meibom, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Christophe Kopp

Metabolic interactions with endosymbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium spp. are fundamental to reef-building corals (Scleractinia) thriving in nutrient-poor tropical seas. Yet, detailed understanding at the single-cell level of nutrient assim ...

The role of sulfated metabolites in the wound response of siphonous green algae

The giant unicellular macroalgae exhibit an extraordinary wound repair mechanism. The rapid assimilation of cellular contents into an insoluble wound plug prevents detrimental cytoplasmic loss and limits the intrusion of extracellular components which coul ...

How Does Plant Diversity Affect Soil Aggregate Stability and Erosion Processes in Disturbed Alpine Ecosystems?

Plant species diversity is hypothesized to be among the most relevant factors for enhancing soil stability in disturbed sites at high elevation. Because a more diverse plant community may comprise a high number of plant species of different growth forms, p ...

Variable sediment oxygen uptake in response to dynamic forcing

Alfred Johny Wüest

Seiche-induced turbulence and the vertical distribution of dissolved oxygen above and within the sediment were analyzed to evaluate the sediment oxygen uptake rate (J(O2)), diffusive boundary layer thickness (delta(DBL)), and sediment oxic zone depth (z(ma ...
