Aerobic processes require oxygen, and anaerobic processes are typically hindered by it. In
many places in the global ocean, oxygen is completely removed at mid‐water depths …

Organic matter (OM) plays a significant role in the formation of oxygen minimum zones
(OMZs) and associated biogeochemical cycling. OM supply processes to the OMZ include …

No consensus has been achieved among researchers on the effect of dissolved oxygen
(DO) on nitrate (NO 3−-N) transformation and the microbial community, especially during …

Excessive nutrients in aquatic ecosystems are the main driving factors for eutrophication and
water quality deterioration. However, the influence of nutrients in overlying water on …

Microorganisms function as open systems that exchange matter and energy with their
surrounding environment. Even though mass (carbon and nutrients) and energy exchanges …

Large amounts of carbon sequestered in permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are
becoming vulnerable to microbial decomposition in a warming world. However, knowledge …

Oceanic oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are globally significant sites of biogeochemical
cycling where microorganisms deplete dissolved oxygen (DO) to concentrations< 20 µM …

Oxygen (O2) is the ultimate oxidant on Earth and its respiration confers such an energetic
advantage that microorganisms have evolved the capacity to scavenge O2 down to …

Microbial activity mediates the fluxes of greenhouse gases. However, in the global models of
the marine and terrestrial biospheres used for climate change projections, typically only …

A new box model is employed to simulate the oxygen-dependent cycling of nutrients in the
Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Model results and data for the present state of the …
