Microbial activity is a fundamental component of oceanic nutrient cycles. Photosynthetic
microbes, collectively termed phytoplankton, are responsible for the vast majority of primary …

Global increases in atmospheric CO2 and temperature are associated with changes in
ocean chemistry and circulation, altering light and nutrient regimes. Resulting changes in …

Baleen whales influence their ecosystems through immense prey consumption and nutrient
recycling,–. It is difficult to accurately gauge the magnitude of their current or historic …

Most aquatic photoautotrophs depend on CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to
maintain productivity at ambient concentrations of CO2, and carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays …

Microbial mineralization and immobilization of nutrients strongly influence soil fertility. We
studied microbial biomass stoichiometry, microbial community composition, and microbial …

Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and
ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised …

Photosynthesis fuels marine food webs, yet differences in fish catch across globally
distributed marine ecosystems far exceed differences in net primary production (NPP). We …

The partitioning of organic matter (OM) between dissolved and particulate phases is an
important factor in determining the fate of organic carbon in the ocean. Dissolved organic …

Trace metals are required for numerous processes in phytoplankton and can influence the
growth and structure of natural phytoplankton communities. The metal contents of …

The way that nutrients cycle through atmospheric, terrestrial, oceanic and associated biotic
reservoirs can constrain rates of biological production and help structure ecosystems on …
