microbial dynamics

As topsoil dries out, microbial dynamics change and native plants either die or move uphill toward cooler temperatures and more moisture.

"The work is literally pioneering when we think about microbial dynamics: No one's looked at it before," Gilbert told National Geographic.

Physical bioavailability factors such as lake thermal dynamics and biological factors such as lake microbial dynamics should be addressed in addition to the chemical factors when considering lake biologically available P.

This study illustrates that the microbial dynamics involved in producing and degrading MeHg in lacustrine sediments are complex and cannot be predicted solely by the quantification of FA biomarkers in D. desulfuricans or by biomarkers in the OM itself.
