Climate change could impact vital functions of microbes

...ago. Kelly is studying the effect of increased carbon dioxide on microbial populations both on the leaves of trees in Northern Michigan and in leaves decomposing in streams and has found a distinct shift in some microbial populations. This could have an enormous impact on the food chain as the microbes are as ...

Worms are Killing the Planet

New discovery: If it weren't for this enzyme, decomposing pesticide would take millennia

CHAPEL HILL ?An enzyme inside a bacterium that grows in the soil of potato fields can -- in a split second -- break down residues of a common powerful pesticide used for killing worms on potatoes, researchers have found. That may be expensive for farmers but lucky for the environment because Univ...

Some current farming practices, however, may disrupt the soil ecosystem and decrease the effectiveness of the microbe community. ...

Cleaning the atmosphere of carbon: African forests out of balance

...tanding the causes of this African forest carbon sink and projecting its future is anything but straightforward. Growing trees absorb carbon. Dead, decomposing trees release carbon. Researchers expect growth and death to approximately balance each other out in mature, undisturbed forests, and thus for total t...
