Molecular-level impacts of global change on natural organic matter Global warming is closely linked to natural organic matter on the Earth via its decomposition to greenhouse gas. Natural organic matter represents one of the largest and most active carbon reservoirs in aquatic ecosystems and fuels biogeochemical cycles. However, the diversity of [...] Read more

Global change is altering Earth’s biogeochemical cycles by rewiring the links between microbes and organic matter. However, < 1% of bacterial species have been cultured, and fewer than half of the identifiable major bacterial lineages or phyla include cultivated representatives. Similarly, a large proportion of natural organic matter remains [...] Read more

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a complex and diverse mixture of labile and recalcitrant molecules that actively shape the biogeochemical cycles of all ecosystems on Earth. Compared to bulk carbon pools traditionally considered, the partitioning of organic matter into various fractions, such as particulate and mineral-associated pools or labile [...] Read more
