Links Between Geological Processes, Microbial Activities & Evolution of Life Microbes and Geology /

Microbial activities influence water-rock interaction processes and chemical transport between the major geochemical reservoirs and the formation/transformation of minerals and rocks, whereas geological processes and geochemical controls influence the microbial ecology in extreme environments. How b...
