Identifying and quantifying nitrogen pools is essential for understanding the nitrogen cycle in
aquatic ecosystems. The ubiquitous diatoms represent an overlooked nitrate pool as they …

Benthic cyanobacterial mats are increasing in abundance worldwide with the potential to
degrade ecosystem structure and function. Understanding mat community dynamics is thus …

Microphytobenthos (MPB) form a light-sensitive “nutrient filter” between sediment and
bottom water in shallow coastal systems and the MPB activity is believed to have important …

High‐sulfur, low‐oxygen environments formed by underwater sinkholes and springs create
unique habitats populated by microbial mat communities. To explore the diversity and …

Cyanobacterial mats profoundly influenced Earth's biological and geochemical evolution
and still play important ecological roles in the modern world. However, the biogeochemical …

Seasonal changes in light and physicochemical conditions have strong impacts on
cyanobacteria, but how they affect community structure, metabolism, and biogeochemistry of …

Benthic diatoms are the main primary producers and are sensitive to environmental changes
in the estuarine ecosystem. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate the impact of environmental …

The sedimentary pyrite sulfur isotope (δ34S) record is an archive of ancient microbial sulfur
cycling and environmental conditions. Interpretations of pyrite δ34S signatures in sediments …

Diatoms can survive long periods in dark, anoxic sediments by forming resting spores or
resting cells. These have been considered dormant until recently when resting cells of …

We carried out measurements of the CO2 system parameters to evaluate the impact of
carbonate and nutrients' chemistry on phytoplankton populations in the Gulf of Guinea …
