Microbial activity is a fundamental component of oceanic nutrient cycles. Photosynthetic
microbes, collectively termed phytoplankton, are responsible for the vast majority of primary …

The way that nutrients cycle through atmospheric, terrestrial, oceanic and associated biotic
reservoirs can constrain rates of biological production and help structure ecosystems on …

Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and
ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised …

Baleen whales influence their ecosystems through immense prey consumption and nutrient
recycling,–. It is difficult to accurately gauge the magnitude of their current or historic …

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

Inspired by the importance of globally well‐constrained carbon: nitrogen: phosphorus (C: N:
P) ratios in planktonic biomass to the understanding of nutrient cycles and biotic feedbacks …

Redfield noted the similarity between the average nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio in plankton
(N: P= 16 by atoms) and in deep oceanic waters (N: P= 15; refs,). He argued that this was …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element to all life, being a structural and functional
component of all organisms. 1-4 P provides the phosphate-ester backbone of DNA and …

Microbial mineralization and immobilization of nutrients strongly influence soil fertility. We
studied microbial biomass stoichiometry, microbial community composition, and microbial …

We analyzed the cellular content of C, N, P, S, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Co, Cd, and Mo
in 15 marine eukaryotic phytoplankton species in culture representing the major marine …
