The sediment microenvironment has an important effect on the release of endogenous phosphorus. In this study, the influence of two different in-situ covering materials on the sediment microenvironment were compared, and the controlling effect of endogenous phosphorus release were studied. The sediment microenvironment was represented by the concentration of NH-N, Fe in interstitial water, and microbial activity. The results showed that the concentrations of NH-N and Fe were lower under ACPM coverage than those of the Phoslock group, and the microbial activity was higher, indicating that the redox potential of ACPM coverage was higher than that of Phoslock. Furthermore, the bottom sediment microenvironment was in an aerobic state. Compared with the Phoslock group, the DIP concentrations in both the overcover water and porewater in the ACPM group were higher, indicating that Phoslock was superior to ACPM with respect to the phosphate adsorption capacity, suggesting that the sediment microenvironment was not the only criterion for phosphorus adsorption. In the fixation process of endogenous phosphorus, both of the covering materials were conducive to the fixation of inter phosphorus, and Ca-P increased significantly. On the other hand, oxidizing ACPM led to an increase in NHCl-P and a significant decrease in Fe/Al-P. This promotes the release of active phosphorus, which is conducive to the cleaning of the sediment and phosphorus release.

Exploration missions to Mars rely on landers or rovers to perform multiple analyses over geographically small sampling regions, while landing site selection is done using large-scale but low-resolution remote-sensing data. Utilizing Earth analog environments to estimate small-scale spatial and temporal variation in key geochemical signatures and biosignatures will help mission designers ensure future sampling strategies meet mission science goals. Icelandic lava fields can serve as Mars analog sites due to conditions that include low nutrient availability, temperature extremes, desiccation, and isolation from anthropogenic contamination.

The family Woeseiaceae, also known as the JTB255 bacterial group, are ubiquitous and abundant core members of microbial communities in marine surface sediments. However, to date, only one Woeseiaceae strain isolated from marine sediments has been described, and the phylogeny and environmental adaptation mechanisms of this group have been little explored. Here, we isolated five novel Woeseiaceae strains from the marine solar saltern in Weihai, China.

Algae blooms are frequently triggered owing to the improvements in aquatic trophic levels. The aggregated algae from these blooms are eventually dead and accumulate on sediment surfaces, impacting the microenvironment and phosphorus cycling in aquatic systems. However, research on the effects of naturally dead algal deposition on endogenous P release from sediments is lacking.
