Methane emissions from wetlands: biogeochemical, microbial, and modeling perspectives from local to global scales.
Understanding the dynamics of methane (CH4 ) emissions is of paramount importance because CH4 has 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and is currently the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas. Wetlands are the single largest natural CH4 source with median emissions from published studies of 164 Tg yr(-1) , which is about a third of total global emissions...
متن کاملMicrobial Ecology and Global Health
This special issue of the International Journal of Microbiology focuses on global health. More specifically, our aim is to establish whether there is a role for microbial ecology in global health. " Global health " is often defined as the " health of populations " a problem that transcends geographic boundaries and exists at the intersection of demography, economics, epidemiology, political eco...
متن کاملUnderstanding food-web persistence from local to global scales.
Understanding food-web persistence is an important long-term objective of ecology because of its relevance in maintaining biodiversity. To date, many dynamic studies of food-web behaviour--both empirical and theoretical--have focused on smaller sub-webs, called trophic modules, because these modules are more tractable experimentally and analytically than whole food webs. The question remains to...
متن کاملFrom Local to Global Consistency* from Local to Global Consistency*
In reasoning tasks involving the maintenance of consistent databases (so called "constraint net works") it is customary to enforce local consistency conditions in order to simplify the construc tion of a globally coherent model of the data. In this paper we present a relationship between the sizes of the variables' domains and the level of local consistency sufficient to ensure global con si...
متن کاملMicrobial biofilms: from ecology to molecular genetics.
Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms attached to surfaces or associated with interfaces. Despite the focus of modern microbiology research on pure culture, planktonic (free-swimming) bacteria, it is now widely recognized that most bacteria found in natural, clinical, and industrial settings persist in association with surfaces. Furthermore, these microbial communities are often co...
