Terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have specific carbon fingerprints and sequestration
potential, due to the intrinsic properties of the organic matter (OM), mineral content …

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts in many
regions of the world. Soil health is likely to be negatively impacted by these extreme events …

Minerals preserve the oldest, most persistent soil carbon, and mineral characteristics appear
to play a critical role in the formation of soil organic matter (SOM) associations. To test the …

Lipids, as one of the main building blocks of cells, can provide valuable information on
microorganisms in the environment. Traditionally, gas or liquid chromatography coupled to …

Background Microbiomes contribute to multiple ecosystem services by transforming organic
matter in the soil. Extreme shifts in the environment, such as drying-rewetting cycles during …

Climate change is causing an increase in drought in many soil ecosystems and a loss of soil
organic carbon. Calcareous soils may partially mitigate these losses via carbon capture and …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent significant stress to organisms and are
known to disrupt microbial community structure and function. Nevertheless, a detailed …

Understanding how microbial lipidomes adapt to environmental and nutrient stress is crucial
for comprehending microbial survival and functionality. Certain anaerobic bacteria can …

Structurally diverse, specialized lipids are crucial components of microbial membranes and
other organelles and play essential roles in ecological functioning. The detection of such …

Small, water-soluble metabolites (eg amino acids, sugars) occupy central positions in
biogeochemical cycling, yet for most metabolites we do not know rates of de novo synthesis …
