Thermodynamics in ecology—An introductory review
How to predict the evolution of ecosystems is one of the numerous questions asked of
ecologists by managers and politicians. To answer this we will need to give a scientific …

Metabolic flexibility allows bacterial habitat generalists to become dominant in a frequently disturbed ecosystem
Ecological theory suggests that habitat disturbance differentially influences distributions of
habitat generalist and specialist species. While well-established for macroorganisms, this …

Influence of organic carbon and nitrate loading on partitioning between dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and N2 production
Biologically available nitrogen is removed from ecosystems through the microbial processes
of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) or denitrification, while dissimilatory nitrate …

Distributions, abundances and activities of microbes associated with the nitrogen cycle in riparian and stream sediments of a river tributary
H Kim, HS Bae, KR Reddy, A Ogram - Water Research, 2016 - Elsevier
River tributaries are ecologically important environments that function as sinks of inorganic
nitrogen. To gain greater insight into the nitrogen cycle (N-cycle) in these environments, the …
