For the first time, scientists pinpointed how often storms topple trees, helping to predict how changes in Amazonia affect the world.
A newly discovered metabolic process linking different bacteria in a community could enhance bioenergy production.
These enhanced tools will accelerate gene discovery and characterization, vital for new forms of fuel production.
Aircraft data show that ice particles are smaller and fall faster than models had assumed; correcting this issue in models improves simulation of deep, raining cloud systems.
Data from three Arctic measurement sites show how clouds, temperature, and water vapor impact the Arctic surface energy budget, which could enhance future warming and sea ice melt.
Water table depth and groundwater flow are vital to understanding the amount of water that plants transmit to the atmosphere.
Researchers discover the first CRISPR-Cas9 system in archaea, which may enable new technologies for biological research.
Feedbacks of clouds on climate change strongly influence the magnitude of global warming.
For the first time, scientists analyzed the genetic material of surface microbes that are colonizing the deep subsurface, where they are adapting and thriving.
An analysis suggests models overestimate soil’s potential for carbon sequestration.
New model reveals the significant role of microbes in oceanic nutrient and energy.
