Metagenomic evidence for metabolism of trace atmospheric gases by high-elevation desert Actinobacteria
Previous surveys of very dry Atacama Desert mineral soils have consistently revealed sparse communities of non-photosynthetic microbes. The functional nature of these microorganisms remains debatable given the harshness of the environment and low levels of biomass and diversity. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the phylogenetic community structure and metabolic potential of...
متن کاملTrace-element evidence for the origin of desert varnish by direct aqueous atmospheric deposition
Smooth rock surfaces in arid environments are often covered with a thin coating of Fe–Mn oxyhydroxides known as desert varnish. It is debated whether such varnish is formed (a) by slow diagenesis of dust particles deposited on rock surfaces, (b) by leaching from the underlying rock substrate, or (c) by direct deposition of dissolved constituents in the atmosphere. Varnishes collected from smoot...
متن کاملClimate-Chemical Interactions and Effects of Changing Atmospheric Trace Gases
The problem concerning the greenhouse effects of human activities has broadened in scope frbm the CO2-climate problem to the trace gas-climate problem. The climate ffects of non-CO 2 trace gases are strongly governed by interactions between chemistry, radiation, and dynamics. We discuss in delfiil the natuie of the trace gas radiative heating and describe the importance of radiative-chemical in...
متن کاملRetrieval of Atmospheric Trace Gases and Ozone Variability with Iasi
• The IASI-based retrieval of the atmosphere columnar amounts for CH4, N2O and CO with physical inversion (iterative) procedure exploited the measurements in the reduced set of IASI spectral channels and preliminary estimates (preceding retrievals) for the temperature and humidity vertical profiles • The problem of mapping and monitoring of the regional (primarily, over Europe) variability in t...
