High cadmium (Cd) concentrations associated with geochemical anomalies are prevalent in carbonate-rich karstic areas, posing serious ecological risks, while the karstic soils are rich in bicarbonate (HCO3-). It is known that Selenium (Se) is a mineral el...

Sedimentary organic matter is an important component of the metabolism of a lake?s ecosystem, and it is generally derived from both the watershed and the primary productivity of a lake. Understanding the sources of organic matter in lakes and lake trophi...

In open regions of the Ross Sea, the role of the microbial community in the turnover of organic matter has scarcely been investigated; indeed, very little is known on how microbial distribution and functional diversity respond to environmental conditions...

Bacterial and phytoplankton communities are known to be in close relationships, but how natural and anthropogenic stressors can affect their dynamics is not fully understood. To study the response of microbial communities to environmental and human-induc...

Small ponds constitute a significant number of standing water bodies on earth and may contribute to CO2 uptake or release into the atmosphere. Despite their importance, few studies have examined ecosystem metabolism in ponds, especially in ponds that may...
