Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Nutrient availability limits phytoplankton growth throughout much of the global ocean. Here
we synthesize available experimental data to identify three dominant nutrient limitation …

Natural microbial communities are phylogenetically and metabolically diverse. In addition to
underexplored organismal groups, this diversity encompasses a rich discovery potential for …

The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Coastal groundwater (CGW) is a critical water resource for many communities and can be a
