The Arctic is a climatically sensitive region that has experienced warming at almost 3 times the global average rate in recent decades, leading to an increase in Arctic greenness and a greater abundance of plants that emit biogenic volatile organic compoun ...
In hardwater lakes, calcite precipitation is an important yet poorly understood process in the lacustrine carbon cycle, in which catchment-derived alkalinity (Alk) is both transformed and translocated. While the physico-chemical conditions supporting the s ...
High-mountain ecosystems are experiencing acute effects of climate change, most visibly through glacier recession and the ‘greening’ of the terrestrial environment. The streams draining these landscapes are affected by these shifts, integrating hydrologic, ...
The eco-morphodynamic activity of large tropical rivers in South and Central America is analyzed to quantify the carbon flux from riparian vegetation to inland waters. We carried out a multi-temporal analysis of satellite data for all the largest rivers in ...
The prediction of algal blooms using traditional water quality indicators is expensive, labor-intensive, and timeconsuming, making it challenging to meet the critical requirement of timely monitoring for prompt management. Using optical measures for foreca ...
Wildfires, controlled burns, and biofuel combustion (biomass burning or BB) are major contributors to particulate matter in the atmosphere and thus have an impact on climate, human health, and ecosystems. Once emitted, the particulate matter derived from B ...
Warming in the Arctic is occurring at an accelerated rate compared to the rest of the world which is partially driven by ecological and climatic feedback loops. Accelerated glacial and ice sheet retreat in Greenland drives increased development of glacial ...

Electron transfer reactions are central to the transformation of energy in the environment and play an important role in biogeochemical element cycling. In soils, one of the main drivers of carbon cycling is the activity of organisms that utilize the energ ...
Mutualistic nutrient cycling in the coral-algae symbiosis depends on limited nitrogen (N) availability for algal symbionts. Denitrifying prokaryotes capable of reducing nitrate or nitrite to dinitrogen could thus support coral holobiont functioning by limi ...
