We here use a game-theoretic approach 23 to evaluate the ecological and evolutionary conditions under which individual fixation strategies emerge, and to resolve whether the evolutionary stable ...

A comprehensive review published in Nitrogen Cycling highlights significant advances in understanding the soil nitrogen cycle, emphasizing the critical role of microbial processes and innovative ...

Soil erosion is widely known for degrading land and reducing agricultural productivity. But new research shows it may also play a far more complex and important role in regulating the global nitrogen ...

Professor of Global Environmental Studies, Chancellor's Fellow and Director, John Muir Institute of the Environment, University of California, Davis Nitrogen is one of the most important resources for ...

The nitrogen cycle is a biogeochemical process encompassing the biologically mediated and abiotic transformations of nitrogen between atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic reservoirs, enabling its ...

In a warming corner of Iceland, tiny soil microbes are quietly rewriting one of Earth’s most fundamental life-support systems. Instead of passing nitrogen along to plants, they are increasingly ...
