Experiments in diverse #soils reveal an extremely low moisture threshold for H2-oxidizing microbes, near the dry limit for #microbial activity. This finding shifts the soil H2 sink distribution, underscoring the role of drylands in the global H2 cycle.

#Chemoautotrophic carbon fixation is vital for evaluating #permafrost carbon-climate feedback, but has been largely ignored. Here the authors find that dark #carbon fixation predominates ~1/3 of the investigated #thermokarst lakes on the #Tibetan Plateau.

The large uncertainty in land carbon-cycle estimates remains a major challenge. Here, the authors show that vegetation biogeography drives much of this uncertainty, with 75% of the uncertainty reducible using existing biogeography map from remote sensing.

Carbonate parameters in regions with low oxygen and high natural #CO2 are sensitive to added CO2 but do not always suffer anthropogenic ocean #acidification; outcomes depend on the combined action of available anthropogenic CO2 and buffering.

People who persistently carry the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus have a much less diverse community of bacteria in their nose, while certain species may help keep it out. 🦠

These findings offer insight into who may be at higher risk of infection. 👇
