BACKGROUND Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation, the reduction of atmospheric N2 to ammonia, is important for maintaining the fertility of the oceans by providing biologically …
Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being. Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …
Marine life is controlled by multiple physical and chemical drivers and by diverse ecological processes. Many of these oceanic properties are being altered by climate change and other …
Climate change is likely to stimulate the development of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic waters, with negative consequences for water quality of many lakes, reservoirs …
The prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms that drive the pelagic ocean's biogeochemical cycles are currently facing an unprecedented set of comprehensive …
Ocean ecosystems have responded and will continue to respond to climate changes of different rates, magnitudes, and durations (virtually certain). Human societies depend on …
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (= cyanoHABs) are an increasing feature of many waterbodies throughout the world. Many bloom-forming species produce toxins, making …
The oceans take up over 1 million tons of anthropogenic CO2 per hour, increasing dissolved p CO2 and decreasing seawater pH in a process called ocean acidification (OA). At the …
