For decades, microbial community composition in subseafloor sediments has been the focus
of extensive studies. In deep lacustrine sediments, however, the taxonomic composition of …

The in situ production of necromass and its role as a power source in sustaining
heterotrophic microorganisms in marine sediments has never been quantified. Here we …

Groundwater ecosystems are low productivity environments due to the small amount and
poor quality of organic carbon, and nutrient limitation (N, P). However, field data show the …

Marine sediments constitute one of the most energy-limited habitats on Earth, in which
microorganisms persist over extraordinarily long timescales with very slow metabolisms …

Boreal lakes are major components of the global carbon cycle, partly because of sediment‐
bound heterotrophic microorganisms that decompose within‐lake and terrestrially derived …

Climate change affects glaciers all over the world causing glacial recession with the
formation of new lakes. Glaciers of Mount Tronador (41° S, Patagonia, Argentina) underwent …

Meltwater discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) exports sediment, solutes, total
phosphorus (TP), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and other macro-and micronutrients to …

Increases in the terrestrial export of dissolved organic carbon (C) to rivers may be
associated with additional loading of organic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to the coastal …

To elucidate the specific and combined effects of bottom-up and top-down control on the
microbial community in warm lakes, we sampled microbial community along with physical …

Tropical reservoirs are main carbon sources to the atmosphere, and bacterial metabolism is
a key process in these emissions. Here, we explored the drivers of bacterial metabolism in …
