Every ecosystem is complex and unique. In some places, specific plants, animals, fungi, or bacteria will have a dramatic ...

In soil remediation processes, the mediating role of microorganisms in soil nutrient cycling is critical. The decline in ...

An important topic in our research is the cycling of nutrients within lake ecosystems. This is because in a large number of lakes, the internal cycling of nutrients regulates the water quality and ...

Groundwater input to coral reefs directly affects water chemistry and triggers a cascade of changes in the coastal ecosystem, ...

Nutrient cycling is one of the most important processes that occur in an ecosystem. The nutrient cycle describes the use, movement, and recycling of nutrients in the environment.

A new study published in the Journal of Plant Ecology has found that temperate forest tree species, regardless of their root ...

The way those nutrients move between organisms and their environment is called a nutrient cycle. Nutrient cycles move in a circle, and plants are one stop on that roundabout route.

"In the accelerated ecosystems, processes such as decomposition, biomass production, or nutrient cycling, for example, also occur more quickly," explains Manning.

To investigate this cycle scientists from Washington State University and the non-profit Panthera identified 65 puma kill sites by tracking GPS-collared pumas in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem ...
