斯坦福研究发现海滩微生物对水净化至关重要 受到海浪升高的威胁 Stanford study finds beach microbes crucial for water purification, threatened by rising seas.

斯坦福研究人员研究了斯丁森海滩沿海地下水中的微生物群落,发现这些微生物通过破除过多氮等有害化学物质,在净化水方面发挥着关键作用。 Stanford researchers studied microbial communities in coastal groundwater at Stinson Beach, finding these microbes play a key role in purifying water by breaking down harmful chemicals like excess nitrogen. 然而,海平面上升和暴风雨威胁着这些生态系统,有可能破坏其功能。 However, rising sea levels and storms threaten these ecosystems, potentially disrupting their functions. 该研究报告发表在《环境微生物学》上,强调需要进一步研究以保护这些隐藏但至关重要的自然过滤器。 The study, published in Environmental Microbiology, highlights the need for further research to protect these hidden but crucial natural filters.
