"Terre Calde di Medolla" (TCM) (literally, "Hot Lands of Medolla") refers to a farming area in Italy with anomalously high temperatures and diffuse emissions of biogenic CO, which has been linked to CH oxidation processes from a depth of 0.7 m to the surface. We herein assessed the composition of the total bacterial community and diversity of methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) in soil samples collected at a depth at which the peak temperature was detected (0.

- Ocean acidification threatens ecosystems that depend on calcifying organisms, impacting their socioeconomic benefits.
- Researchers studied stony corals near a natural CO2 vent in the Mediterranean to understand how they acclimate to varying pH levels.
- Findings indicate that while corals maintain growth rates (linear extension) by increasing skeletal porosity at lower pH, this may lead to reduced health and resilience due to decreased density and structural integrity.
Anthropogenic CO is a major driver of current environmental change in most ecosystems, and the related ocean acidification (OA) is threatening marine biota. With increasing pCO, calcification rates of several species decrease, although cases of up-regulation are observed. Here, we show that biological control over mineralization relates to species abundance along a natural pH gradient.
