The foliage this time of year beckons us outside, perhaps for a stroll along the Columbia River or an early-morning hike up Badger Mountain.

Uncertainty in assumed effective emission height from anthropogenic sources strongly affects the concentration and vertical profile of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and aerosols

Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reviewed the current state of knowledge about the impacts of climate change on soil microorganisms in different climate-sensitive soil ecosystems.

A new study examines how back how back-to-back extreme events can affect a forest landscape.

Enzyme production in peatlands reduces carbon lost to respiration under future high temperatures.

If you have been through airport security lately, you likely have done what those of us at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory call the "PNNL salute."

The microbial communities within the loose, friable aggregations of organic and mineral components in soil are highly organized spatially, shaped in part by the structure of the soil itself.

Nitrogen is a critical nutrient regulating productivity in many ecosystems and influences nutrient availability by affecting organic matter decomposition rates.

Biogeochemical activity in the hyporheic zone (HZ), sediments where the flowing waters of a river mix with shallow groundwater, supports many of the biological processes that occur within a watershed.

Turbulent vertical fluxes of heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide (CO2) occur constantly between land surfaces and the atmosphere.
