Nitrogen-altering bacteria thrive under charcoal depositionWhen fire burns down a forest, nitrate levels go up, and the effects are persistent, according to recent research from University of Montana scientists. They found that charcoal deposited during fire events has the potential to stimulate the conversion of ammonia to nitrates, an important step in the nitrogen cycle.Led by Patrick Ball, the research team found that a type of bacteria that transforms ammonia into nitrates was found in...

Andreas Hoffman calculates buffer factor for water in the River Schelde and in the oceanA wide range of chemical and microbiological processes influence the acidity of natural waters. Dutch researcher Andreas Hofmann has developed a new method for accurately determining the acidity of water. This can be used to simultaneously view different chemical processes, and the effect of each process on the pH value can also be determined.Hofmann tested his method at various locations, such as the...

By Fine, Philip M Sioutas, Constantinos; Solomon, Paul A ABSTRACT Secondary aerosols comprise a major fraction of fine particulate matter (PM^sub 2.5^) in all parts of the country, during all seasons, and times of day. The most abundant secondary species include sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, and secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). The relative abundance of each species varies in space and time as a function of meteorology, source emissions strength and type, thermodynamics, and atmospheric...
