Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton on the planet and form harmful algal
blooms in freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Recent research suggests that …

Microbial carbonate mineralization is widespread in nature and among microorganisms, and
of vast ecological and geological importance. However, our understanding of the …

The precipitation and dissolution processes of CaCO 3 are essential to the marine carbon
cycle and are relevant to climate research. Nevertheless, one of the nagging questions is …

Coccolithophores are major contributors to global marine planktonic calcification, and in
nature coccolithophores are invariably calcified through almost all of their life cycle. The …

Enhancement of ocean alkalinity using calcium compounds, eg, lime has been proposed to
mitigate further increase of atmospheric CO2 and ocean acidification due to anthropogenic …

Carbonate biomineralization is considered as one of the main natural processes controlling
CO2 levels in the atmosphere both in the past and at present time. In contrast to extensive …

This study assesses the potential use of Mg isotopes to trace Mg carbonate precipitation in
natural waters. Salda Lake (SW Turkey) was chosen for this study because it is one of the …

Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation, situated in western Liaoning Province,
China, has attracted attention for abundant Jehol Biota fossils and the potential to improve …

The traditional perception in limnology has been that phytoplankton biomass in lakes is
limited by phosphorus, nitrogen, and light, but not by dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) …

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP) is considered a novel eco-
friendly technique to enhance the structural properties of cementitious-based material …
