Secondary reactions of aromatics-derived oxygenated organic molecules lead to plentiful highly oxygenated organic molecules within an intraday OH exposure [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) can participate in new particle formation (NPF) and enhance growth of newly formed particles partially because of their low volatility. Previous studies have shown formation of HOMs via autoxidation reactions of

The diversity and ecological role of protozoa in fresh waters [PDF]

, 1997
Protozoa feed on and regulate the abundance of most types of aquatic microorganisms, and they are an integral part of all aquatic microbial food webs. Being so small, aerobic protozoa thrive at low oxygen tensions, where they feed (largely unaffected by ...

Characterizations of how species mediate ecosystem properties require more comprehensive functional effect descriptors [PDF]

, 2014
The importance of individual species in mediating ecosystem process and functioning is generally accepted, but categorical descriptors that summarize species-specific contributions to ecosystems tend to reference a limited number of biological traits and

Heavy metal pollution decreases microbial abundance, diversity and activity within particle-size fractions of a paddy soil.

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2014
Chemical and microbial characterisations of particle-size fractions (PSFs) from a rice paddy soil subjected to long-term heavy metal pollution (P) and nonpolluted (NP) soil were performed to investigate whether the distribution of heavy metals (Cd, Cu ...

Guano morphology has the potential to inform conservation strategies in British bats [PDF]

, 2020
Bats are primary consumers of nocturnal insects, disperse nutrients across landscapes, and are excellent bioindicators of an ecosystem’s health, however four of the seventeen Great British species are listed as declining.
