Trait-based approaches are an alternative to species-based approaches for functionally
linking individual organisms with community structure and dynamics. In the trait-based …

Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles and their complex responses to environmental
changes have received increasing attention. However, large uncertainties in model …

Alkaline phosphatase (APase) is one of the marine enzymes used by oceanic microbes to

The intense drying-rewetting cycle due to climate change can affect soil microbial
community composition and function, resulting in long-term consequences for belowground …

Anthropogenic activities, especially dam operations, often induce larger and more frequent
stage fluctuations than those occurring in natural rivers. However, long‐term impacts of such …

In oxygen-limited environments, denitrifying bacteria can switch from oxygen-dependent
respiration to nitrate (NO3−) respiration in which the NO3− is sequentially reduced via nitrite …

Microbial decomposition of organic matter (OM) in river corridors is a major driver of nutrient
