Global nitrogen cycle: critical enzymes, organisms, and processes for nitrogen budgets and dynamics
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 …

Ecosystem services provided by marine and freshwater phytoplankton
Phytoplankton, the ecological group of microalgae adapted to live in apparent suspension in
water masses, is much more than an ecosystem's engineer. In this opinion paper, we use …

Energy flow through marine ecosystems: confronting transfer efficiency
Transfer efficiency is the proportion of energy passed between nodes in food webs. It is an
emergent, unitless property that is difficult to measure, and responds dynamically to …

[HTML][HTML] A seamless ensemble-based reconstruction of surface ocean CO and air–sea CO fluxes over the global coastal and open oceans
TTT Chau, M Gehlen, F Chevallier - Biogeosciences, 2022 - bg.copernicus.org
We have estimated global air–sea CO 2 fluxes (fg CO 2) from the open ocean to coastal
seas. Fluxes and associated uncertainty are computed from an ensemble-based …
