DOI: 10.1002/lno.10383
Abstract: Unraveling the potentially shifting controls over microbial activity among habitats and across seasonal transitions is critical for understanding how freshwater ecosystems influence broader elemental cycles, and how these systems may respond to global changes. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/vzj2.20087
Abstract: Under water‐unsaturated conditions, environmental factors (e.g., substrate, nutrients, O2, water activity, and porous structure) controlling microbial activity are highly variable in space and time. The physical structure of porous media (pore size distribution and pore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02273-x
Abstract: Non-native, invasive plants are often strong competitors that have large effects on ecosystem functioning. While limited experimental evidence suggests invasive species can change soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) processes, little is known about how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-021-04724-5
Abstract: Urbanization can result in multiple stressors for freshwater ecosystems including altered flow regimes, higher sediment loads and increased inorganic nutrient supply. The effects of urbanization on ecosystem processes including organic matter decomposition are poorly understood.… read more here.
