Low Energy Subsurface Environments as Extraterrestrial Analogs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Earth’s subsurface is often isolated from phototrophic energy sources and characterized by chemotrophic modes of life. These environments are often oligotrophic and limited in electron donors or electron acceptors, and include continental crust ...

Determining the values of soil‐mediated contributions to people: A comparative European perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Soil health is a fundamental element underpinning terrestrial ecosystems, yet it is persistently threatened by the ongoing process of land degradation, leading to detrimental impacts on human well‐being. However, there is a paucity of research on the extent to which humans are dependent on soils and the societal values attributed to their ...

Renewable methacrylate resin for vat photopolymerization derived from post‐consumer polyester waste

Polymer International, EarlyView.
End‐of‐life poly(ethylene terephthalate) was upcycled into a renewable methacrylate crosslinker using microwave‐assisted methacrylation and applied in vat photopolymerization. The recycled resin enabled high‐resolution 3D printing with tunable mechanical performance, highlighting a circular strategy to reduce fossil‐based photopolymer feedstocks ...

Noosa Biosphere Reserve a tool for promoting 'I/Thou' relationships and action /

, 2013
The concept of Biosphere Reserves is for them to act as incubators for local sustainable development projects and to share this information and learning with other Biosphere Reserves and beyond.

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

A global deep terrestrial biosphere core microbiome [PDF]

The deep biosphere encompasses life beneath the Earth's surface and constitutes a substantial portion of the planet's microbial biomass. This study analyzed nucleic acid datasets from low-carbon and low-energy deep terrestrial subsurface groundwaters ...

Aboveground herbivory elevates belowground rhizosphere volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient and polluted air, independent of volatile sampling methodology

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

Revisiting bare‐ground evaporation in a high‐resolution numerical weather prediction system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An improved method is proposed to parameterize evaporation in numerical weather prediction models. The figure shows dew‐point temperature forecast error (standard deviation of forecast error and bias) versus lead time over the North Plains region during spring 2022 for three parameterizations: CTL, the α$$ \alpha $$ method of Jacquemin and Noilhan; IFS:

Field in the frame: sampling the deep biosphere

Communications Earth & Environment
Beneath the deep ocean floor may not seem like a natural place for a prospering ecosystem, yet microbial life can thrive in subsurface sediments. The International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 385 led by Drs. A. Teske and D.

Minimal changes in microbial abundances and diversity over 7 years of emplacement for modules of compacted bentonite exposed to natural groundwater

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
The multi-national in situ Materials Corrosion Test (MaCoTe), being conducted at the Grimsel Test Site in Switzerland, assesses the stability of bentonite as it may be utilized within deep geological repositories (DGRs), which are proposed for the safe ...
