Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

A prolonged drought in southeastern Connecticut reduced the stability of microorganisms responsible for a critical step in the nitrogen cycle in a ...

Human activities have dramatically altered the Earth's nitrogen cycle since the Industrial Revolution, driving pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate feedbacks. A new scientific review highlights ...

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Nitrogen Cycling—a premier, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing multidisciplinary research on the nitrogen cycle. Our mission is to ...

The nitrogen cycle is a biogeochemical process encompassing the biologically mediated and abiotic transformations of nitrogen between atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic reservoirs, enabling its ...

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are some of the most abundant microorganisms in the ocean and play a key role in nitrogen cycling. Yet, despite their ubiquity, scientists have long puzzled over how ...

Dr. Tanja Stratmann’s project, titled “Nitrogen Cycling in Modern Sponges with Clues About Their Role in Past Oceans” (SPYCLING for short), focuses on marine sponges as representatives of the oldest ...

After more than a decade of research and collaboration, researchers from Michigan Technological University, Baylor University and Boston University have discovered that inland and coastal aquatic ...
