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 …

Although marine productivity is a key parameter in the global carbon cycle, reliable
estimation of productivity in ancient marine systems has proven difficult. In this study, we …

Polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of orthophosphate (PO4 3-) of varying lengths, has been
identified in all kingdoms of life. It can serve as a source of chemical bond energy …

Organisms throughout the tree of life accumulate chemical resources, in particular forms or
compartments, to secure their availability for future use. Here we review microbial storage …

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 …

In this article, we review the nature, occurrence and environmental relevance of the
authigenic ferrous iron phosphate mineral vivianite (Fe 3 (PO 4) 2· 8H 2 O) in waterlogged …

Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are critical macroelements in freshwater systems.
Historically, researchers and managers have focused on inorganic forms, based on the …

Phosphate rocks are a vital resource for world food supply and security. They are the
primary raw material for phosphoric acid and fertilizers used in agriculture, and are …

The marine nitrogen (N) cycle controls the productivity of the oceans. This cycle is driven by
complex biogeochemical transformations, including nitrogen fixation, denitrification, and …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that has contributed approximately 20% to the Earth's
warming since pre-industrial times. The world's oceans are an important source of methane …
