Microalgae, as the most promising raw material for biodiesel, can absorb and transform N, P,
and organic matter in wastewater into cell components such as oil, carbohydrate, and …

Tropical reefs are commonly transitioning from coral to macroalgal dominance, but the role
of macroalgae in coral decline remains inadequately understood. A growing body of …

Mercury (Hg) input into ecosystems is estimated to have increased by twofold to fivefold
since the industrial revolution. In aquatic ecosystems, methylmercury (MeHg) receives the …

The mechanisms that shape soil microbes in peatlands along the altitude gradient remain
unresolved due to limited data and inconsistent findings along different vertical vegetation …

Sponges play a key role in (re) cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and inorganic
nutrients in coral reef ecosystems. Macroalgae and corals release different quantities of …

Algal blooms contribute to water quality degradation, unpleasant odors, taste issues, and the
presence of harmful substances in artificially constructed weirs. Mitigating these adverse …

The underlying mechanism for sustaining the high productivity of coral reefs in nutrient
deplete water, known as the Darwin Paradox, has long been debated. The input of new …

Marine sponges play a major ecological role in recycling resources on coral reef
ecosystems. The cycling of resources may largely depend on the stability of the host …

The response of heterotrophic bacterioplankton to the addition of macrophytic dissolved
organic matter (DOM) and temperature was investigated in the Red Sea. We added 40 μ mol …

Temperature and substrate availability are important variables controlling marine
heterotrophic bacterial activity. However, particularly in tropical regions it remains to be …
