Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Phosphorus (P) is essential for life, but most of the global surface ocean is P depleted, which
can limit marine productivity and affect ecosystem structure. Over recent decades, a wealth …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for marine phytoplankton and indeed all life forms.
Current data show that P availability is growth‐limiting in certain marine systems and can …

The regeneration of bioavailable phosphate from immobilized organophosphorus
represents a key process in the global phosphorus cycle and is facilitated by enzymes …

Phosphorus (P) is a required element for life. Its various chemical forms are found
throughout the lithosphere and hydrosphere, where they are acted on by numerous abiotic …

Surface ocean phosphate is commonly below the standard analytical detection limits,
leading to an incomplete picture of the global variation and biogeochemical role of …

In coastal seas, the role of atmospheric deposition and river runoff in dissolved organic
phosphorus (DOP) utilization is not well understood. Here, we address this knowledge gap …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus genera have been
longtime considered as autotrophic organisms. However, compelling evidence published …

Selective removal of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from the marine dissolved organic
matter (DOM) pool has been reported in several regional studies. Because DOM is an …

Excessive phosphorus (P) enrichment is the critical cause of eutrophication in the lake
water. Organic P (P o) mineralization processes induced by alkaline phosphatase (APase) …
