Distinct biogeographic patterns for archaea, bacteria, and fungi along the vegetation gradient at the continental scale in Eastern China
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-02-07)The natural forest ecosystem in Eastern China, from tropical forest to boreal forest, has declined due to cropland development during the last 300 years, yet little is known about the historical biogeographic patterns and ... -
Invasive plants rapidly reshape soil properties in a grassland ecosystem
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-03-07)Plant invasions often reduce native plant diversity and increase net primary productivity. Invaded soils appear to differ from surrounding soils in ways that impede restoration of diverse native plant communities. We ... -
Comparative genomic analysis reveals habitat-specific genes and regulatory hubs within the genus Novosphingobium
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-05-23)Species belonging to the genus Novosphingobium are found in many different habitats and have been identified as metabolically versatile. Through comparative genomic analysis, we identified habitat-specific genes and ... -
The microbiome-mitochondrion connection : common ancestries, common mechanisms, common goals
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-05-09)Lynn Margulis in the 1960s elegantly proposed a shared phylogenetic history between bacteria and mitochondria; this relationship has since become a cornerstone of modern cellular biology. Yet, an interesting facet of the ... -
Surface wave effects on the translation of wind stress across the air–sea interface in a fetch-limited, coastal embayment
(American Meteorological Society, 2017-07-13)The role of surface gravity waves in structuring the air–sea momentum flux is examined in the middle reaches of Chesapeake Bay. Observed wave spectra showed that wave direction in Chesapeake Bay is strongly correlated with ... -
Turbulent mixing in a deep fracture zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
(American Meteorological Society, 2017-07-13)Midocean ridge fracture zones channel bottom waters in the eastern Brazil Basin in regions of intensified deep mixing. The mechanisms responsible for the deep turbulent mixing inside the numerous midocean fracture zones, ... -
Advancing coastal ocean modelling, analysis, and prediction for the US Integrated Ocean Observing System
(2017-04-19)This paper outlines strategies that would advance coastal ocean modeling, analysis and prediction as a complement to the observing and data management activities of the coastal components of the U.S. Integrated Ocean ... -
Long-term release of carbon dioxide from Arctic tundra ecosystems in Alaska
(2016-11)Releases of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from thawing permafrost are expected to be among the largest feedbacks to climate from arctic ecosystems. However, the current net carbon (C) balance ... -
Oceanic detachment faults generate compression in extension
(Geological Society of America, 2017-08)In extensional geologic systems such as mid-ocean ridges, deformation is typically accommodated by slip on normal faults, where material is pulled apart under tension and stress is released by rupture during earthquakes ... -
Depth-varying seismogenesis on an oceanic detachment fault at 13°20'N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
(2017-08-31)Extension at slow- and intermediate-spreading mid-ocean ridges is commonly accommodated through slip on long-lived faults called oceanic detachments. These curved, convex-upward faults consist of a steeply-dipping section ... -

Hydrologic controls on seasonal and inter-annual variability of Congo River particulate organic matter source and reservoir age
(2017-06)We present dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, particulate organic matter (POM) composition (δ13C, δ15N, ∆14C, N/C), and particulate glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) distributions from a 34-month ... -
Age of air and the circulation of the stratosphere
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2017-09)The circulation of air in the stratosphere is important for the distribution of radiatively important trace gases, such as ozone and water vapor, and other chemical species, including ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. ... -
Improved detection of the first-order region for direction-finding HF radars using image processing techniques
(American Meteorological Society, 2017-08-11)For direction-finding high-frequency (HF) radar systems, the correct separation of backscattered spectral energy due to Bragg resonant waves from that due to more complex double-scattering represents a critical first step ... -
Holocene black carbon in Antarctica paralleled Southern Hemisphere climate
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-07-01)Black carbon (BC) and other biomass-burning (BB) aerosols are critical components of climate forcing, but quantification, predictive climate modeling, and policy decisions have been hampered by limited understanding of the ... -
Significance of beach geomorphology on fecal indicator bacteria levels
(2017-04-28)Large databases of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) measurements are available for coastal waters. With the assistance of satellite imagery, we illustrated the power of assessing data for many sites by evaluating beach ... -
Depth of the vadose zone controls aquifer biogeochemical conditions and extent of anthropogenic nitrogen removal
(2017-06)We investigated biogeochemical conditions and watershed features controlling the extent of nitrate removal through microbial dinitrogen (N2) production within the surficial glacial aquifer located on the north and south ... -
Improving LADCP velocity with external heading, pitch, and roll
(American Meteorological Society, 2017-08-11)Data collected with acoustic Doppler current profilers installed on CTD rosettes and lowered through the water column [lowered ADCP (LADCP) systems] are routinely used to derive full-depth profiles of ocean velocity. In ... -
African baobabs with a very large number of stems and false stems : radiocarbon Investigation of the baobab of Warang
(Studia Chemia, 2017-03)The article presents the AMS (accelerator mass spectrometry) radiocarbon dating results of the baobab of Warang, Senegal. The investigation of the baobab revealed that it consists of 18 partially fused stems, which represents ... -
Validation of the remotely sensed nighttime sea surface temperature in the shallow waters at the Dongsha Atoll
(Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2017-06)Fine scale temperature structures, which are commonly found in the top few meters of shallow water columns, may result in deviations of the remotely sensed night-time sea surface temperatures (SST) by the MODIS-Aqua sensor ...
