Two Asian orchids, Arundina graminifolia and Spathoglottis plicata, are expanding into tropical regions worldwide, showing invasive behavior. In this study, we investigated the factors underlying their success. Both species—as all orchids—require fungal carbon to germinate, but S.

Resource recovery from black water
New sanitation systems based on separation at source offer a large potential for resource recovery from wastewater, e.g. energy and nutrients from black water and irrigation water from grey water. This review focuses on the components in source separated

The conversion of fixed nitrogen to N2 in suboxic waters is estimated to contribute roughly a third to total oceanic losses of fixed nitrogen and is hence understood to be of major importance to global oceanic production and, therefore, to the role of ...

Historical Contingency Drives Freshwater Microbial Community Assembly Across Successional Time
Using a 60‐day full‐factorial reciprocal transplant microcosm experiment, we quantified the relative contributions of historical contingency, environmental selection, and dispersal limitation to freshwater bacterial community assembly. We show a pronounced temporal shift from early dispersal‐driven assembly to late‐stage dominance of historical ...

Climate Controls on Carbon Dioxide Fluxes in a High‐Elevation Grassland
Climate change is significantly influencing high‐elevation grasslands, possibly unbalancing CO2 exchanges and the sink‐source dynamics. Cumulated heat available for plant growth and vegetation cover were identified as the main controllers of phenological development and, via direct or mediated effects, of CO2 fluxes (ER and GPP).

By synthesizing decades of culture data with modern oceanographic datasets, we modelled trace metal limitation of phytoplankton. Our analysis reaffirms the critical role of iron but additionally highlights a significant, growing impact of zinc on the biological pump in future oceans.

Study on nitrogen removal in mixotrophic denitrification system driven by composite filter materials
NH4+-N in refinery wastewater is completely converted into NO3--N after biochemical treatment, resulting in extremely low C/N ratio in the effluent. The traditional heterotrophic denitrification processes require external carbon sources, which leads to ...

Low‐Head Dam Removal Restores Biofilm Structure but Not Function in a Temperate Stream
ABSTRACT Barrier removal is a common stream restoration practice aimed at restoring longitudinal connectivity, yet its effects on biofilm structure and function, through alteration of near‐bed hydrodynamics, remain unclear. Using a space‐for‐time substitution approach, we assessed how the presence and removal of a low‐head dam affect biofilm structure ...

Acidophilic heterotrophs: basic aspects and technological applications
Acidophiles comprise a group of microorganisms adapted to live in acidic environments. Despite acidophiles are usually associated with an autotrophic metabolism, more than 80 microorganisms capable of utilizing organic matter have been isolated from ...
