Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The
conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy …

Using an interdisciplinary approach, this paper reviews current knowledge in the field of
natural hydrogen. For the first time, it combines perspectives on hydrogen from the literature …

Abstract Microplastics (plastics< 5 mm, including nanoplastics which are< 0.1 μm) originate
from the fragmentation of large plastic litter or from direct environmental emission. Their …

Numerous diverse microorganisms reside in the cold desert soils of continental Antarctica,
though we lack a holistic understanding of the metabolic processes that sustain them. Here …

Methane-dependent nitrate and nitrite removal in anoxic environments is thought to rely on
syntrophy between ANME-2d archaea and bacteria in the genus 'Candidatus …

The atmosphere has recently been recognized as a major source of energy sustaining life.
Diverse aerobic bacteria oxidize the three most abundant reduced trace gases in the …

Microorganisms with the capacity to reduce the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to
harmless dinitrogen gas are receiving increased attention due to increasing N 2 O …

Soils are the most heterogeneous parts of the biosphere, with an extremely high
differentiation of properties and processes within nano-to macroscales. The spatial and …

The use of biochar in organic waste composting has attracted interest in the last decade due
to the environmental and agronomical benefits obtained during the process. Biochar …

The reaction takes place at a specialized metal center that dramatically increases the acidity
of H2 and leads to a heterolytic splitting of the molecule which is strongly accelerated by the …
