Quantifying the impact of drought on microbial processes and its consequences for soil
carbon cycling is hindered by the lack of underlying mechanistic understanding. Therefore …

The key role of bioinformatics is acquiring striking importance in the era of outstanding
advances in omics technologies for its fundamental support in describing the multifaceted …

We report on angle-resolved photoemission studies of the electronic π states of high-quality
epitaxial graphene layers on a Ni (111) surface. In this system the electron binding energy of …

Aims We investigated the role of plants and their plant-derived carbon in shaping the
microbial community that decomposes substrates and traced the return of nutrients from …

Soil protists are increasingly appreciated as essential components of soil foodwebs;
however, there is a dearth of information on the factors structuring their communities. Here …

The microbial groups of nitrogen fixers, ammonia oxidizers, and denitrifiers largely drive the
inorganic nitrogen cycle in temperate terrestrial ecosystems. Their spatial and temporal …

Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) are key players in the second step of nitrification, which is an
important process in the soil nitrogen (N) cycle. However, the ecology of nitrite oxidizers and …

Nitrogen dynamics and its association to metabolically active microbial populations were
assessed in two vertical subsurface vertical flow (VF) wetlands treating urban wastewater …

Acidobacteria occur in a large variety of ecosystems worldwide and are particularly
abundant and highly diverse in soils. In spite of their diversity, only few species have been …

Integration of trees in agroforestry systems can increase the system sustainability compared
to monocultures. The resulting increase in system complexity is likely to affect soil-N cycling …
