Sediment-associated processes account for most of the spatial variation in stream ecosystem respiration in the Yakima River basin

The paper evaluates a process-based model for predicting stream ecosystem respiration (ERtot) in the Yakima River basin and finds it fails to explain spatial variation, highlighting the importance of sediment-associated respiration and other factors.

Meta-metabolome ecology reveals that geochemistry and microbial functional potential are linked to organic matter development across seven rivers

The paper links geochemistry and microbial functional potential to organic matter development across seven rivers using DOM characterization, geochemical analyses, and shotgun metagenomics.

Implications of sample treatment on characterization of the riverine environmental metabolome

The paper evaluates how sample treatment and ionization mode affect the characterization of riverine environmental metabolomes using high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Using Community Science to Reveal the Global Chemogeography of River Metabolomes

This study uses community science to analyze global river metabolomes, revealing differences between surface water and sediment and significant spatial variation in sediment metabolites.

Disturbance Triggers Non-Linear Microbe-Environment Feedbacks

The paper tests a conceptual framework linking microbial communities with environmental factors and processes, finding non-linear feedbacks triggered by disturbance.

Ecological theory applied to environmental metabolomes reveals compositional divergence despite conserved molecular properties

The paper applies ecological theory to environmental metabolomes, revealing compositional divergence despite conserved molecular properties through the concept of thermodynamic redundancy.

Carbon limitation leads to thermodynamic regulation of aerobic metabolism

The paper tests OM thermodynamics as a regulator of aerobic respiration, showing it dominates under carbon limitation and shifts to nitrogen content when carbon is in excess.
