Enormous Diversity and Biogeochemical Potential Is Contained within the Soil Virosphere
A compilation of soil viral genomes provides a comprehensive description of the soil virosphere, its potential to impact global biogeochemistry, and an open database for future investigations of soil viral ecology.
No “One Ring to Rule Them All”: Different Microbial Traits Influence Soil Carbon Accrual from Living Versus Dead Roots
A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted a 13C-labeling greenhouse study using a semi-arid grassland soil, where they tracked the fate of 13C-labeled inputs from living roots and decaying roots from annual grass Avena barbata.
Sniff Test for Explosives Detection Extends Its Reach
Scientists have developed a way to detect tiny amounts of hard-to-detect explosives more than eight feet away.
Profiling the Gut Microbiome Proteins that Modify Bile
Researcher Kris Brandvold is hunting down the exact ways that microbes affect our bile and change its function in our body.
For Understanding Soil Methane Flux, Two Techniques Are Better Than One
Researchers used a combination of sophisticated laboratory incubations and field measurements to determine the role of microbial production and consumption of methane in soils with different exposure to tidal inundation
An R Package for NMR Data Processing
Reproducible workflows for binning and visualizing nuclear magnetic resonance spectra from environmental samples.
How Does a River Breathe?
PNNL scientists have been studying how rivers and streams breathe. Their research focuses on respiration, organic matter, and natural disturbances that affect rivers and streams.
