Phytoplankton—microscopic algae that form the base of ocean food webs—have long been viewed as transient players in the ...

Seed cycling uses specific seeds to support hormone balance during menstrual phases. While experts caution limited scientific ...

The citric acid cycle generates energy and mobilizes nutrients for microbial growth.

A forest fire sweeps everything in its path. It drastically alters the soil environment, causing extreme temperatures, reduced moisture, spikes in pH ...

Achieving a closed system on your farm is easy with a few key practices. Shifting focus toward nutrient cycling can turn a labor-intensive farm into a more passive, yet fruitful, endeavor. Here, ...

Subalusky’s research on wildebeest die-offs has enlivened the debate, adding evidence that animals regularly trigger substantial shifts in carbon and nutrient cycling in their ecosystems.

Baran knew that by comparing isotopes — in different plant species, in plants growing in different places, in different plant parts, and at different heights within the same plant — we can better ...

Here, we briefly review the current knowledge of how the foliar endophytic fungi and nutrient cycling interact. Recent findings suggest that endophytes may affect plant litter quality, organisms that ...

Analysis of growth inhibition of continuously planted Casuarina equisetifolia in relation to characteristic soil microbial functions and nutrient cycling. Appl.

Understanding the nitrogen cycle is key to grasping concepts in biology, ecology, and environmental science. In this article, we’ll walk through the different steps of the nitrogen cycle, the key ...

Our results indicate that insect herbivory may significantly influence fast nutrient cycling processes in natural communities, particularly so in managed grasslands. Oikos is a journal issued by the ...
