Searching for hydrothermal vent archaea in the deep subsurface of Guaymas Basin
With increasing subseafloor depth, temperatures increase and impact microbial subsurface life. Will high subseafloor temperatures that approach hydrothermal vent conditions select for hydrothermal vent microbes, including hyperthermophiles? A comprehensive sequencing census is seeking the answer.
Crop redistribution can reduce the environmental footprint within groundwater depletion regions by more than one-third and contribute to the recovery of groundwater table
How to provide co-benefits of food security, resource use efficiency, and friendly environment for spatially targeted, remains unanswered especially in groundwater depletion (GWD) regions. we developed a framework for crop redistribution to achieve synergistic effects across multi-dimensions.
