The rhizosphere is undoubtedly the most complex microhabitat, comprised of an integrated
network of plant roots, soil, and a diverse consortium of bacteria, fungi, eukaryotes, and …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the primary nutrients required to build biomass and is therefore in high
demand in aquatic ecosystems. Estuaries, however, are frequently inundated with high …

Shallow lakes are considered important contributors to emissions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a
powerful greenhouse gas, in aquatic ecosystems. There is a large degree of uncertainty …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are economical and effective swine tailwater treatment
systems. However, nitrogen removal in CWs is limited by the lack of carbon source for …

Combined heterotrophic and autotrophic denitrification (HAD) is a sustainable and practical
method for removing nitrate from organic-limited wastewater. However, the active …

Hyporheic zones (HZ) are active biogeochemical regions where groundwater and surface
water mix. N transformations in HZ sediments were investigated in columns with a focus on …

The successional ecology of nitrogen cycling in biocrusts and the linkages to ecosystem
processes remains unclear. To explore this, four successional stages of natural biocrust with …

Investigation of bacterial community dynamics across different time scales is important for
understanding how environmental conditions drive community change over time …

Environmental gradient have strong effects on community assembly processes. In order to
reveal the effects of alkaline mine drainage (AlkMD) on bacterial and denitrifying bacterial …

The long-term effects of combined divalent copper (Cu (II)) and tetracycline (TC) on the
performance, microbial activity and community in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) were …
