The Earth beneath our feet teems with life invisible to the naked eye, and the discovery of an unfamiliar type of soil-dwelling microbe adds to the complexity of this hidden world. A recent study ...

When soil microbes eat plant matter ... As temperatures rise, more organic matter of different types will become available in soil. That will affect the amount of CO 2 that is emitted from ...

In question are the kinds of feedbacks that can be expected from soil microbes in a warmer climate and the resulting effects on the global stocks of soil carbon. Existing climate models do not ...

Warming temperatures can ramp up the activity of methane-producing bacteria in wetland soils, adding to methane emissions.

Microbial Tug-of-War In wetland soils, two types of microbes are locked in competition. Some microbes produce methane, a greenhouse gas up to 45 times stronger than CO 2. But other microbes ...

The position of the nodule on the root, the type of soil in which the red gram is grown, the variety and other environmental factors that contribute to the composition of the microbe nodule were ...

These strategies include the swapping out of membrane phospholipids with non-phosphorus lipids, and accumulation of various types of microbial fats. "Our study highlights that soil microbes use ...
