Crop rotation impacts on soil nutrients are typically assessed using field-averaged or single-nutrient analyses that ignore spatial heterogeneity and multivariate interactions. We propose a multivaria...
Timely, paddock-scale estimates of plant-available water (PAW) can support crop management in water-limited grain systems. We present the Sydney Soil Water-Energy Balance (SWEB) model, a scalable, phy...
Outdoor air pollution is a major concern for the environment and public health, especially in areas where urbanization is taking place rapidly. The Indian Air Quality Index (IND-AQI), developed by the...
Biological age (BA) captures inter-individual variation in physiological aging beyond chronological age (CA). Although machine-learning models have advanced BA estimation, many rely primarily on conti...
The concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and cadmium (Cd) were analyzed in muscle, liver, kidney and lung tissue samples, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes were me...
The deep microbial biosphere is a vast ecosystem extending kilometers beneath Earth's surface in terrestrial rocks, aquifers, marine sediments, and oceanic crust. Blocked from sunlight, and often seve...
Reliable underwater tactile sensing technology can promote the effective exploitation of marine resources, which is of significant importance for sustainable human development. Such technology typical...
People of the Jomon period in Japan led a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and actively engaged in fishing in coastal areas. On the Atsumi Peninsula, which is located in the southern part of Aichi Prefecture...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, typical ecosystems characterized by abundant carbon but limited nitrogen, support thriving microbial activities. The source of nitrogen has long been a key ...
Coral diseases are increasing in prevalence, accelerating the global decline of tropical reefs, which threatens over 25% of marine biodiversity and vital ecosystem services for human societies. While ...
In deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems, inorganic sulfur compounds serve as key energy sources for microbes through oxidation, reduction, or disproportionation reactions. However, to date, the bacteria t...
Earth's early history provides the only natural record for evaluating how planetary evolution can generate environments capable of initiating life. Here we review early Earth evolution through the len...
"Rotten" sea ice, ice in an advanced stage of melt, represents an important but understudied habitat in the rapidly changing Arctic. As Arctic warming accelerates, this late-season ice type will becom...
Seaweeds are important marine resources that contain a great variety of beneficial compounds, including protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fibers, and bioactive compounds such as poly...
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging contaminants in deep-sea ecosystems, yet their specific impacts on the internal heterogeneity of cold seep microbiomes remain poorly understood....
Coral reef islands face escalating degradation due to extreme substrate infertility (coral sand) and waste management challenges in isolated marine environments. High-oil food waste composting offers ...
The Arctic Ocean is warming rapidly, prompting increased attention to the ecosystem's response to sea-ice loss and the influx of organisms from lower latitudes. Recent studies have shown that these ex...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
Although nitrogen fixation has recently been recognized in the Arctic Ocean, the biogeographical patterns of diazotrophs in this region remain poorly resolved, leaving a critical gap in understanding ...
Anthropogenic and climatic perturbations threaten to destabilize gas hydrates and release methane from its vast subseafloor reservoir. Yet the deep-sea ecosystem responses remain poorly understood. Ou...
