A novel ecological measurement uncovered interactions between river corridor organic matter assemblages and microbial communities, highlighting potentially important microbial taxa and molecular formula types.
Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.
New mathematical tools developed at PNNL hold promise to transform the way we operate and defend complex cyber-physical systems, such as the power grid.
Microbiome and soil chemistry characterization at long-term bioenergy research sites challenges idea that switchgrass increases carbon accrual in surface soils of marginal lands.
Contributions from researchers across Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) were recently recognized in the preliminary findings of a Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) report.
Researchers performed controlled laboratory experiments using river sediment to test organic matter thermodynamics as a mechanism of metabolic control in areas where groundwater and surface water mix.
Researchers performed a combined analysis of metabolic and gene co-expression networks to explore how the soil microbiome responds to changes in moisture and nutrient conditions.
By studying discrete functional components of the soil microbiome at high resolution, researchers obtained a more complete picture of soil diversity compared to analysis of the entire soil community.
