Temporary streams are characterized by the alternation of dry and wet hydrological phases,
creating both a harsh environment for the biota as well as a high diversity of opportunities for …

Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs)–short lived resources including dung, carrion,
temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi–are found throughout every …

The ecological consequences of soil salinization, one of the major causes of soil
degradation worldwide, on soil carbon (C) emissions are well known, but less is known …

Soil salinization has rapidly encroached from the coastline to inland areas over the past two
decades in the Yellow River Delta (YRD). Soil samples were collected from low‐(LSW) …

Ion-adsorption rare earth mining results in the production of high levels of nitrogen, multiple

Abstract Comparison of microbial community diversity and composition of terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems in undisturbed regions could expand our understanding on the …

The improvement of aeration conditions in the rhizosphere is beneficial for crop growth and
productivity. However, its effects on the soil microbial community are less known. Due to …

Sediment microbial communities are responsible for a majority of the metabolic activity in

Methane is produced by various natural processes that directly or indirectly contribute to the
entire Earth's methane budget. If the Earth's overall methane budget becomes imbalanced …

Soil oxygen (O 2) deficiency induced by organic mulching is easy to overlook. Aeration has
been shown to potentially alleviate soil hypoxia stress. However, the responses of soil …
