The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

The health of freshwater and marine ecosystems is critical to life on Earth. The impact of
solar UV-B radiation is one potential stress factor that can have a negative impact on the …

Recent results continue to show the general consensus that ozone-related increases in UV-
B radiation can negatively influence many aquatic species and aquatic ecosystems (eg …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the strongest light-absorbing component of seawater,
especially in coastal regions, and therefore it plays a dominant role in marine photochemical …

Pyrogenic organic matter (pyOM) is the solid residue left after pyrolysis of organic matter, a
process occurring in nature during forest fires. Upon rain events, pyrogenic dissolved …

Heterotrophic bacterioplankton are main consumers of dissolved organic matter (OM) in
aquatic ecosystems, including the sunlit upper layers of the ocean and freshwater bodies …

By coupling DNA-SIP and pyrosequencing approaches, we identified Cycloclasticus sp. as a
keystone degrader of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) despite being a member of …

Quantitative proteomic analysis of exosomes isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of
neuromyelitis optica (NMO) patients detected signature proteins differentiating NMO from …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) reactivity in aquatic systems is essentially dependent on
DOC precursor material and on the processes regulating its bioavailability, especially …

Eutrophication and climate warming cause macrophytes to spread rapidly in shallow lakes.
The accumulation of excess decayed litter in lake water can improve the particulate organic …
