The role of microorganisms in mobilization and fixation of phosphorus in sediments

R Gächter, JS Meyer - Proceedings of the third international workshop on …, 1993 - Springer

Small players, large role: microbial influence on biogeochemical processes in pelagic aquatic ecosystems

JB Cotner, BA Biddanda - Ecosystems, 2002 - Springer
Although prokaryotes are small in size, they are a significant biomass component in aquatic
planktonic ecosystems and play a major role in biogeochemical processes. A review of the …

Diversity predicts stability and resource use efficiency in natural phytoplankton communities

R Ptacnik, AG Solimini, T Andersen… - Proceedings of the …, 2008 - National Acad Sciences
The relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functioning has been debated for
decades, especially in relation to the “macroscopic” realm (higher plants and metazoans) …

The uptake of inorganic nutrients by heterotrophic bacteria

DL Kirchman - Microbial Ecology, 1994 - Springer
It is now well known that heterotrophic bacteria account for a large portion of total uptake of
both phosphate (60% median) and ammonium (30% median) in freshwaters and marine …

Relation between sedimentation rate and burial of organic phosphorus and organic carbon in marine sediments

ED Ingall, P Van Cappellen - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1990 - Elsevier
