The dramatic worldwide increase in agricultural and industrial productivity has created severe environmental problems. Soil and groundwater reservoirs have been polluted with pesticides, xenobiotics and agro-chemicals. The global consensus to reduce inputs of chemical pesticides…
"The health and proper functioning of aquatic ecosystems depends in part on the abundance and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The fluxes and pulses of organic matter influences practically every aspect of stream ecology, biogeochemistry, and productivity. Aquatic …
"We can't see them, but microbes are the dominant form of life on Earth. They make up half of the world's biomass. They were here billions of years before we were, and they will be here after we are gone. Without their activity, life as we know it would be impossible. Even withi…
