Parapatric speciation of Meiothermus in serpentinite-hosted aquifers in Oman
The factors that control the distribution and evolution of microbial life in subsurface environments remain enigmatic due to challenges associated with sampling fluids from discrete depth intervals via boreholes while avoiding mixing of fluids.

Viruses in Subsurface Environments
Over the past 20 years, our knowledge of virus diversity and abundance in subsurface environments has expanded dramatically through application of quantitative metagenomic approaches. In most subsurface environments, viral diversity and abundance rival viral diversity and abundance observed in surface environments.

Chapter 2: Digital Data Supplements subsurface dataset Rhine-Meuse delta in the Netherlands
Quantitative local determination of these characteristics poses a major challenge in natural environments with a heterogeneous substrate. Geological knowledge on the natural genesis and resulting structure of the subsurface may provide useful information

Ecohydrologically important subsurface structures in peatlands revealed by ground-penetrating radar and complex conductivity surveys. [PDF]
The surface pattern of vegetation influences the composition and humification of peat laid down during the development of a bog, producing a subsurface hydrological structure that is expected to affect both the rate and pattern of water flow.

Origin and Evolution of Flavin-Based Electron Bifurcating Enzymes
Twelve evolutionarily unrelated oxidoreductases form enzyme complexes that catalyze the simultaneous coupling of exergonic and endergonic oxidation–reduction reactions to circumvent thermodynamic barriers and minimize free energy loss in a process known ...
