Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are some of the most abundant microorganisms in the ocean and play a key role in nitrogen cycling. Yet, despite their ubiquity, scientists have long puzzled over how ...

Soil erosion is widely known for degrading land and reducing agricultural productivity. But new research shows it may also ...

How does climate change influence the planet’s nitrogen cycle? This is what a recent study published in Nitrogen Cycling hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated climate change’s impact ...

Human activities have dramatically altered the Earth’s nitrogen cycle since the Industrial Revolution, driving pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate feedbacks. A new scientific review highlights ...

A prolonged drought in southeastern Connecticut reduced the stability of microorganisms responsible for a critical step in the nitrogen cycle in a ...

The nitrogen cycle is a biogeochemical process encompassing the biologically mediated and abiotic transformations of nitrogen between atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic reservoirs, enabling its ...
