Bacteria Roles in the Carbon Cycle
Read More: Bacteria Roles in the Carbon CycleIndeed, bacteria play several important roles in the carbon cycle, which is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the flow of carbon between the atmosphere, land, and oceans. 1. Decomposition: Firstly, bacteria are primary decomposers in ecosystems. They break down dead organic matter, such as plants and animals, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) back into the atmosphere.…

What is Turfgrass?
Read More: What is Turfgrass?Turfgrass, also known as lawn grass, is a type of grass species that is cultivated and grown in order to create lawns and sports fields. It is specifically selected for its ability to create a dense, uniform, and durable ground cover. Turfgrasses are typically low-growing, perennial grasses that have a dense root system and are…

Watering Grass
Read More: Watering GrassEvery living thing needs water to survive and turfgrass is no exception. As the weather gets hotter, your turf processes more and more water. It is too bad that when the turf needs water the most, is when it rains the least. If you don’t help the turf by watering the grass aka irrigation, you…

Redox Potential
Redox potential (Eh) and pH are two important factors that play significant roles in soil/plant/microorganism systems. They act as drivers, influencing various processes and interactions within these systems. This transdisciplinary overview aims to provide an integrated understanding of the relationships between redox potential, pH, and the functioning of soil/plant/microorganism systems. Thus, highlighting potential opportunities for…

Allotropes of Carbon – Graphite, Diamond, and Graphene
We think that The Organic Chemistry Tutor summed this up rather nicely. Enjoy!

Graphite vs. Carbon
A Diamond Is Forever – Graphite vs. Carbon Graphite and diamond are both crystalline forms of pure carbon. The permanence of the carbon bonds separate them from all other forms of carbon. Well documented, soil carbon is extremely important. Soil metagenomics illusidates the carbon function. Specific application to nitrification and dentrification has been used to…
