biogeochemical cycling
The cycling of chemical elements between living organisms and the physical environment, particularly carbon and nitrogen cycles
process
horizontal gene transfer
Transfer of genetic material between organisms through mechanisms other than vertical inheritance
process
iron speciation
The cycling of iron between different chemical forms including soluble ferrous iron (Fe(II)) and ferric iron (Fe(III)) based on oxygen availability
process
colloidal transport
Transport of nano- to microscale particles through porous media and across environmental interfaces
