Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are natural flavan-3-ol polymers that contribute protection to plants
under biotic and abiotic stress, benefits to human health, and bitterness and astringency to …

Electricity-driven microbial metabolism relies on the extracellular electron transfer (EET)
process between microbes and electrodes and provides promise for resource recovery from …

Microbes play an important role in aquatic carbon cycling but we have a limited
understanding of their functional responses to changes in temperature across large …

Root exudation is one of the primary processes that mediate interactions between plant
roots, microorganisms, and the soil matrix, yet the mechanisms by which exudation alters …

Economically viable production of cellulosic biofuels requires operation at high solids
loadings—on the order of 15 wt%. To this end we characterize Nature's ability to deconstruct …

Peatlands are an important carbon (C) reservoir storing one-third of global soil organic
carbon (SOC), but little is known about the fate of these C stocks under climate change …

Soil microbial communities are critical for maintaining terrestrial ecosystems and
fundamental ecological processes. Mercury (Hg) is a heavy metal that is toxic to …

In this present study, catechol was added to promote humus formation in chicken manure
composting using 12.5-L working volume lab-scale reactors. Chicken manure composting …

Abstract Methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, is the second most important
greenhouse gas contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide (CO2). The biological …

Wetlands are crucial nodes in the carbon cycle, emitting approximately 20% of global CH4
while also sequestering 20%–30% of all soil carbon. Both greenhouse gas fluxes and …
