DOM thermal responses

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

DOM and microbes

We are excited to have our study just published in Nature Communications. This study is led by Dr. Ang Hu, and focuses on the associations between dissolved organic matter (DOM) and microbes. Briefly, we developed a new approach by considering the ecological networks of DOM and microbes and null models to quantify their interactions. We then [...] Read more

This trip is fruitful with valuable samples now returned. Such an international field trip is also memorable due to the unique time window during which the COVID-19 epidemic was [...] Read more
