Human civilization relies on estuaries, and many estuarine ecosystem services are provided
by microbial communities. These services include high rates of primary production that …

Breeding has played an important role in the mariculture and industrialization of kelp in
China. However, the current kelp breeding systems in China have encountered some …

Microbes contribute biologically available nitrogen to the ocean by fixing nitrogen gas from
the atmosphere and by mineralizing organic nitrogen into bioavailable dissolved inorganic …

Seagrasses are important primary producers in oceans worldwide. They live in shallow
coastal waters that are experiencing carbon dioxide enrichment and ocean acidification …

Kelp are important primary producers that are colonized by diverse microbes that can have
both positive and negative effects on their hosts. The kelp microbiome could support the …

In coastal marine ecosystems, kelp forests serve as a vital habitat for numerous species and
significantly influence local nutrient cycles. Bull kelp, or Nereocystis luetkeana, is a …

Macrophytes influence nitrogen (N) removal from wetlands. However, the specific plant traits
responsible for this effect and the related microbial mechanisms remain largely unknown …

Background Humans have been consuming medicinal plants (as herbs/spices) to combat
illness for centuries while ascribing beneficial effects predominantly to the …

Nitrate, the form of nitrogen often associated with kelp growth, is typically low in summer
during periods of high macroalgal growth. More ephemeral, regenerated forms of nitrogen …

Here, macroalgal isotopic values from Loch Creran, Western Scotland, were documented to
determine the suitability of paired stable isotope analysis for identifying macroalgal-derived …
