Numerous of these trace gases originate from biological processes in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. These gases are of relevance for the climate as they contribute to global warming or to the troposphere's chemical reactive system that builds the ozone layer or they impact on the stability of aerosols, greenhouse, and pollutant gases. These reactive trace gases include methane, a multitude of volatile organic compounds of biogenic origin (bVOCs) and inorganic gases such as nitrogen oxides or ozone. The regulatory function of microorganisms for trace gas cycling has been intensively studied for the greenhouse gases nitrous oxide and methane, but is less well understood for microorganisms that metabolize molecular hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or bVOCs. The studies compiled in this Research Topic reflect this very well. While a number of articles focus on nitrous oxide and methane or carbon monoxide oxidation, only a few articles address conversion processes of further bVOCs. The Research Topic is complemented by three review articles about the consumption of methane and monoterpenes, as well as the role of the phyllosphere as a particular habitat for trace gas-consuming microorganisms, and point out future research directions in the field. The presented scientific work illustrates that the field of microbial regulation of trace glas fluxes is still in its infancy when one broadens the view on gases beyond methane and nitrous oxide. However, there is a societal need to better predict global dynamics of trace gases that impact on the functionality and warming of the troposphere. Upcoming modelling approaches will need further information on process rates, features and distribution of the driving microorganisms to fulfill this demanding task.Microbiology (non-medical)bicsscbVOCscarbon monoxidedenitrificationmethanemethanotrophnitrous oxidephyllospheretrace gasesvolatile organic compoundsMicrobiology (non-medical)Claudia Kniefauth1326382J.

The academic meeting has addressed the issue of demographic change in Japan in comparison to the social developments of ageing in Germany and other member states of the European Union. The conference was organized by the Institute for Modern Japanese Studies at Heinrich-Heine-University of Duesseldorf and took place at the Mutter Haus in Kaiserswerth (an ancient part of Duesseldorf). Speakers from Germany, England, Japan and the Netherlands presented their papers in four sessions on the topics "Demographic Trends and Social Analysis", "Family and Welfare Policies", "Ageing Society and the Organization of Households" and "Demographic Change and the Economy". Central to all transnational and national studies on demographic change is the question of how societies can be reconstructed and be made adaptive to these changes in order to survive as solidarity communities. The authors of this volume attend to this question by discussing on recent trends of social and economic restructuring and giving insight into new research developments such as in the area of households and housing, family care work, medical insurance, robot technology or the employment sector.SOCIAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshJapan.Social Analysis.demographic trends.SOCIAL SCIENCE / General.Shimada Shingoedt932594Coulmas Florianctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbGodzik Marenctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbOda Akikoctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRonald Richardctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSchad-Seifert Annettectbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSchad-Seifert Annetteedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtShimada Shingoctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbShimada Shingoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTagsold Christianctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbWagner Cosimactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbYamada Atsuhiroctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910557570103321Demographic Change in Japan and the EU3383966UNINA
