Cold seeps with methane-rich fluids leaking out of the seafloor usually support massive
biomass of chemosynthetic organisms and associated fauna. A substantial amount of …

Riparian wetlands can be used as “sentinels” of environmental changes and play pivotal
roles in ecological and biogeochemical processes. The bacterial community is an essential …

Cold seeps on the continental margins are characterized by intense microbial activities that
consume a large portion of methane by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) through …

Background Leakages of cold, methane-rich fluids from subsurface reservoirs to the sea
floor are termed cold seeps. Recent exploration of the deep sea has shed new light on the …

Large amounts of methane are stored along continental margins in the form of methane
hydrate. Methane hydrate is sensitive to environmental change, resulting in the release of …

Over the last six decades, northwest China has undergone a significant climatic shift from
“warm-dry” to “warm-wet”, profoundly impacting the structures and functions of lake …

Cold seeps are highly productive chemosynthetic ecosystems in the deep-sea environment.
Although microbial communities affected by methane seepage have been extensively …

The present proposal offers an in-depth conceptual representation of the life cycle of
methane seep ecosystems, showcasing their ecological development and biogeochemical …

Marine methane seeps are environments with a high microbial diversity, but are known for
one biogeochemical key process, the sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SD …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are among the most widely used metal-based engineered
nanomaterials in biomedicine and nanotechnology, and account for> 50% of global …
