In the end, because energy is conserved in ecosystems, the chemical energy used by buffalo and bacteria must be less than the chemical energy generated via primary production, because of ...

Lake ecosystems can receive high inputs of terrestrial organic matter (t-OM) that microbes make available to higher trophic ...

Warming temperatures can ramp up the activity of methane-producing bacteria in wetland soils, adding to methane emissions.

In the soils of Earth's wetlands, microbes are in a tug-of-war to produce and consume the powerful greenhouse gas methane. But if the Earth gets too hot, it could tip the scale in favor of the methane ...

A new study has found an entire new primary category of microbes hidden within ... which are vital for food production, water quality and ecosystem health. Despite its importance, the deep ...

Lake ecosystems can receive high inputs of terrestrial organic matter (t-OM) that microbes make available to higher trophic level consumers. A research group examined terrestrial reliance of 19 ...
