(PhysOrg.com) -- What do the Gulf of Mexico's "dead zone," global climate change, and acid rain have in common? They're all a result of human impacts to Earth's biology, chemistry and geology, and the ...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how biogeochemical cycles move required nutrients through the abiotic and biotic spheres on our planet. Matter on the Earth is conserved so producers must receive ...

Title Developing a spatially distributed terrestrial biogeochemical cycle modeling system to support the management of Fort Benning and its surrounding areas ...

Scientists are currently meeting at the 94th annual Ecological Society of America (ESA) symposium in New Mexico to discuss, among other topics, the massive upset of the natural biogeochemical cycles ...

We all know Earth is special, but we may not fully appreciate how good we have it on this planet. Unlike its planetary neighbors, Earth has remained habitable for billions of years thanks to a ...

Viruses in different life cycles can promote elemental cycling (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) by viral lysing or auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) metabolisms. Viruses can increase microbial ...

Similar processes are likely for other essential trace elements, such as iron or manganese, which are crucial for marine ecosystems and the carbon cycle. "Our research shows that mangroves play a ...

A new study, led by IIASA researchers and coauthored by UNEP colleagues, finds that if governments fully implement their ...

Advances in iron biogeochemistry have transformed our understanding of the oceanic iron cycle over the past three decades: multiple sources of iron to the ocean were discovered, including dust, ...
