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

Marine diatoms rose to prominence about 100 million years ago and today generate most of
the organic matter that serves as food for life in the sea. They exist in a dilute world where …

Diatoms account for up to 40% of marine primary production, and require silicic acid to grow
and build their opal shell. On the physiological and ecological level, diatoms are thought to …

Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics provides a broad theoretical framework upon which
graduate students and upper-level undergraduates can formulate an understanding of the …

The rise of angiosperms during the Cretaceous period is often portrayed as coincident with a
dramatic drop in the diversity and abundance of many seed-free vascular plant lineages …

A chapter on the pore water of sediments and the processes of early diagenesis, reflected by
the concentration profiles therein, can certainly be structured in different ways. One …

The pelagic realm of the dark ocean represents a key site for remineralization of organic
matter and long‐term carbon storage and burial in the biosphere. It contains the largest pool …

We examine progress towards a global view of oceanic export of particulate organic carbon
(POC) and other nutrient elements (P, N, Si) from the surface (upper 100m), through the …

Iron supply has a key role in stimulating phytoplankton blooms in high-nitrate low-
chlorophyll oceanic waters,,,,. However, the fate of the carbon fixed by these blooms, and …

Specific associations of bacteria with phytoplankton have recently been reported in the
literature. In our study, we analyzed bacterial communities of microalgal cultures related to …
