Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are some of the most abundant microorganisms in the ocean and play a key role in nitrogen cycling. Yet, despite their ubiquity, scientists have long puzzled over how ...

Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

Dr. Tanja Stratmann’s project, titled “Nitrogen Cycling in Modern Sponges with Clues About Their Role in Past Oceans” (SPYCLING for short), focuses on marine sponges as representatives of the oldest ...

After more than a decade of research and collaboration, researchers from Michigan Technological University, Baylor University and Boston University have discovered that inland and coastal aquatic ...

How does climate change influence the planet’s nitrogen cycle? This is what a recent study published in Nitrogen Cycling hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated climate change’s impact ...

A growing body of research suggests that integrating aquatic animals into rice farming could significantly improve nitrogen efficiency while reducing ...

In the search for life on Mars or any planet, there is much more than the presence of carbon and oxygen to consider. Using Earth's biogeochemical cycles as a reference point, elements like nitrogen, ...
