The ocean is home to a diverse and metabolically versatile microbial community that
performs the complex biochemical transformations that drive the nitrogen cycle, including …

The ocean's ability to sequester carbon away from the atmosphere exerts an important
control on global climate. The biological pump drives carbon storage in the deep ocean and …

Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) contains more carbon than the combined stocks of
Earth's biota. Organisms in the ocean continuously release a myriad of molecules that …

Despite numerous surveys of gene and species content in heterotrophic microbial
communities, such as those found in animal guts, oceans, or soils, it is still unclear whether …

In this paper we review the technologies available to make globally quantitative
observations of particles in general—and plankton in particular—in the world oceans, and …

The heavily human-perturbed coastal oceans are hotspots of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission
to the atmosphere. The processes underpinning the N2O flux, however, remain poorly …

The deep sea, the largest ocean's compartment, drives planetary-scale biogeochemical
cycling. Yet, the functional exploration of its microbial communities lags far behind other …

The capacity of planktonic marine microorganisms to actively seek out and exploit
microscale chemical hotspots has been widely theorized to affect ocean-basin scale …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are omnipresent in the ocean, originating from both
biological (eg, unbalanced metabolism or stress) and non-biological processes (eg …

Uncertainty in the global patterns of marine nitrogen fixation limits our understanding of the
response of the ocean's nitrogen and carbon cycles to environmental change. The …
