To solve the bottleneck of the unstable accumulation of nitrite in the partial nitrification (PN)-
anammox (AMX) in municipal wastewater treatment, a novel process called partial …

Arid ecosystems cover∼ 40% of the Earth's terrestrial surface and store a high proportion of
the global nitrogen (N) pool. They are low-productivity, low-biomass, and polyextreme …

Ecological stoichiometry is a useful theoretical framework for understanding the sources and
controls on nutrient availability that structure the composition and diversity of biotic …

Ice-free terrestrial environments of the western Antarctic Peninsula are expanding and
subject to colonization by new microorganisms and plants, which control biogeochemical …

Atmospheric chemosynthesis is a recently proposed form of chemoautotrophic microbial
primary production. The proposed process relies on the oxidation of trace concentrations of …

Cryptogamic covers extend over vast polar tundra regions and their main components, eg,
bryophytes and lichens, are frequently the first visible colonizers of deglaciated areas. To …

The symbiotic relationship between nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria and plants offers a
promising avenue for sustainable agricultural practices and environmental remediation. This …

Largely removed from anthropogenic delivery of nitrogen (N), Antarctica has notably low
levels of nitrogen. Though our understanding of biological sources of ammonia have been …

The retreat of glaciers in Antarctica has increased in the last decades due to global climate
change, influencing vegetation expansion, and soil physico-chemical and biological …

Diesel is a fuel commonly used in Antarctica to supply vessels and domestic applications on
site. The increasing human activities in the continent consequently have generated high fuel …
