Sedimentary marine habitats are the largest ecosystem on our planet in terms of area. Marine sediment microbiota governs most of the benthic biological processes and therefore...

Endospores of thermophilic bacteria are widespread in the marine rare biosphere and have been proposed as model organisms for studying microbial dispersal. Hot subsurface oil...

The chemical weathering of rocks, e.g., during soil formation, leads to a global scale redistribution of the chemical elements. Weathering on land typically releases nutrients...
