Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

Sebastian Haas is a CERE.OCEAN PhD cadidate who leads the research of nitrogen cycle from the Bedford Basin Time Series. Nitrogen is a major nutrient supporting the growth of phytoplankton, which are ...

The molecular mechanism of anaerobic ammonium oxidation has been unraveled. The anaerobic oxidation of ammonia (anammox) is an important pathway in the nitrogen cycle that was only discovered in the ...

Microbial activities drive the global nitrogen cycle, and in the past few years, our understanding of nitrogen cycling processes and the micro-organisms that mediate them has changed dramatically.

A new study reports that anammox, a key process in the nitrogen cycle, is barely present in Narragansett Bay even though it's a major factor just a little farther out into Rhode Island Sound.

Nitrogen is an important component of the global environment, affecting agriculture, climate, human health, and ecosystems.

This study focuses on the microbial N cycle in the acid soil of a beech forest that falls in the upper range of the N saturation continuum. Our objectives were: (1) to quantify microbial N cycling ...

Dr. Tanja Stratmann’s project, titled “Nitrogen Cycling in Modern Sponges with Clues About Their Role in Past Oceans” (SPYCLING for short), focuses on marine sponges as representatives of the oldest ...

“My tattoo is taken from a 1950’s biology textbook. The reason it means so much to me is because of the relevence of the nitrogen cycle to the cycle of life. The horse dies, which feeds the plant, ...
