After more than a decade of inquiry, a Princeton-led team of scientists has turned the tables on a long-standing controversy to re-establish an old truth about nitrogen mixing in the oceans. For ...

Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling ...

During combustion - one of the most popular industrial processes across all industry sectors - the chemical energy in fuels, such as natural gas, coal, or oil, is converted into heat by oxidization.

We investigated microbial pathways of nitrogen transformation in highly permeable sediments from the German Bight (South-East North Sea) by incubating sediment cores percolated with 15N-labeled ...

In the new cycle of AMPs in the UK, the Environment Agency (EA) is starting to impose total nitrogen limits in accordance with the European Urban Wastewater Directive for nutrient sensitive zones.

A research team reveals that the common antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) can fundamentally reshape nitrogen cycling in ...

The influence of hydrology and soil properties on disproportionately high ("hot") rates of nitrate (NO₃⁻) removal via denitrification has been relatively well established. It is poorly understood, ...

Excess nitrogen from agricultural and urban lands is contaminating groundwater, streams, lakes and estuaries, where it causes harmful algal blooms and contributes to fish kills. Cost-effective ...

THE effect of oxygen on the process of denitrification continues to be a subject of research, and it may, therefore, be of interest to record some observations made in the University of Melbourne with ...
