Plant diversity’s positive effect on soil respiration diminishes with increasing productivity in global forests

Plant diversity is essential for regulating ecosystem functions, yet its global-scale relationship with soil respiration, a critical component of the carbon cycle, remains unexplored. While plant productivity modulates ecosystem processes …

New study led by South African scientists reveals how sea-ice microbes survive the Southern Ocean’s harsh winter, with implications for climate change

In a new study scientists reveal up to 38-fold higher DMSP concentrations in Southern Ocean sea-ice versus the surrounding seawaters during the Southern Ocean austral winter. DMSP is known for protecting organisms against environmental stressors. Its degradation yields dimethylsulfide (DMS) and methanethiol (MeSH) which are important climate-cooling gases. The study underscores the role of this seemingly uninhabitable environment as a dynamic reservoir and transformation hub influencing climate-cooling cycles in the polar region.

#Cows’ #methane burps may be fueled by a newfound organelle in #gut #microbes
The newly dubbed #hydrogenobody is found in ciliates living in cows’ first stomach
The microbes live in cattle’s rumens, the first #stomach of cud-chewing animals where grass and other plants are fermented and broken down. The new organelle is called a hydrogenobody. It makes #hydrogen, which stimulates other microbes in the #rumen to produce the #greenhousegas methane.

Cows’ methane burps may be fueled by a newfound organelle in gut microbes

In cows’ guts, ciliates contain a tiny organelle called a hydrogenobody that may drive production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

"[The microbes researchers found high in the atmosphere] turned out to be some of the same humdrum bugs that grow on our crops, our gardens, even our skin. These well-known critters may live a secret double life that few people imagined: flying around the world at two to three times the height of a commercial jetliner."

Earth’s stratosphere is a mysterious superhighway for microbes

Well-known microbes that grow on our crops, our gardens, even our skin have been found thriving at two to three times the flying height of a commercial jetliner.
