One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

The negative effects of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the environment and health
have recently attracted much attention. This article reviews the influence of soil-and water …

Amendment of soil with biochar induces a shift in microbial community structure and
promotes faster mineralization of soil organic carbon (SOC), thus offsetting C sequestration …

Microbe-mediated transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) contributes
substantially to the carbon dynamics and energy flow of aquatic ecosystems; yet, the …

While decomposition of organic matter by bacteria plays a major role in nutrient cycling in
terrestrial ecosystems, the significance of viruses remains poorly understood. Here we …

The ocean has been a regulator of climate change throughout the history of Earth. One key
mechanism is the mediation of the carbon reservoir by refractory dissolved organic carbon …

Microbes of the surface ocean release, consume, and exchange labile metabolites at time
scales of minutes to days. The details of this important step in the global carbon cycle remain …

Understanding the degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) is vital for optimizing
DOM control. However, the microbe-mediated DOM transformation during wastewater …

The cycling of major nutrients in the ocean is affected by large-scale phytoplankton blooms,
which are hot spots of microbial life. Diverse microbial interactions regulate bloom dynamics …

Under climate warming and coastal eutrophication, outbreaks of green tides have increased
in recent decades; eg, the world's largest green tide caused by Ulva prolifera has occurred …
