Coral reefs experience phase shifts from coral-to algae-dominated benthic communities,
which could affect the interplay between processes introducing and removing bioavailable …

Eutrophication (ie the increase of [in-] organic nutrients) may affect the functioning of coral
reefs, but knowledge about the effects on nitrogen (N) cycling and its relationship to …

Tropical coral reefs are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems, despite being
surrounded by ocean waters where nutrients are in short supply. Benthic dinitrogen (N2) …

Nitrogen cycling in coral reefs may be affected by nutrient availability, but knowledge about
concentration-dependent thresholds that modulate dinitrogen fixation and denitrification is …

N 2 fixation by coral reef benthic substrates may support primary productivity on oligotrophic
coral reefs. However, little is known regarding the influence of environmental parameters on …

While various sources increasingly release nutrients to the Red Sea, knowledge about their
effects on benthic coral reef communities is scarce. Here, we provide the first comparative …

Abstract Biological dinitrogen (N 2) fixation (diazotrophy, BNF) relieves marine primary
producers of nitrogen (N) limitation in a large part of the world oceans. N concentrations are …

Corals are associated with dinitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria that potentially represent an
additional nitrogen (N) source for the coral holobiont in oligotrophic reef environments …

Permeable sediments are highly bioactive compartments in coral reefs. The associated
dense microbial communities sustain fast degradation of organic matter, thereby playing a …

Tropical corals are often associated with dinitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs), and
seasonal changes in key environmental parameters, such as dissolved inorganic nitrogen …
