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

Trace metals are required for numerous processes in phytoplankton and can influence the
growth and structure of natural phytoplankton communities. The metal contents of …

The evolution of organisms capable of oxygenic photosynthesis paralleled a long-term
reduction in atmospheric CO2 and the increase in O2. Consequently, the competition …

All aquatic invertebrates take up and accumulate trace metals whether essential or not, and
subsequent body concentrations of trace metals show enormous variability across metals …

The oceanic distribution of cadmium follows closely that of major algal nutrients such as
phosphate. The reasons for this “nutrient-like” distribution are unclear, however, because …

A novel method, combining isotope dilution with standard additions, was developed for the
analysis of eight elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in seawater. The method …

The supply of some essential metals to pelagic ecosystems is less than the demand, so
many phytoplankton have slow rates of photosynthetic production and restricted growth. The …

We discuss the concept of colimitation of primary productivity in aquatic environments, with
an emphasis on reconciling this concept with recent advances in marine bioinorganic …

We analyzed Al, Ti, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ba, Cd, U, Mo, V, and Re in water column, settling
particulate, and sediment (0 to 22 cm) samples from the intense oxygen minimum zone …

The relative supply of energy and elements available to organisms in the environment has
strong effects on their physiology, which, in turn, can alter important ecological processes …
