Sample text
Thermal environments may be grouped into several types, some of which are described below. Within each type, a variety of factors generate additional diversity. and hydrology, such environments can represent a spectrum of pH and geochemical conditions that can vary greatly across small distances (Ͻ20 m in the Uzon Caldera, Kamchatka, Russian Far East) (personal observation). Generally, solfatares are sulfur rich and acidic, and isolates from such environments are acidophilic and frequently sulfur metabolizers (Stetter, 1989).
