Marine biochemical cycles underwent profound changes across the Permian–Triassic (P–T)
boundary, coinciding with Phanerozoic's most devastating mass extinction. This review …

The similarity of the average ratios of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in marine dissolved
inorganic and particulate organic matter, dN: P and pN: P, respectively, indicates tight links …

Coastal areas can represent an ecological transition zone with the function of biodiversity
conservation, and good water quality is fundamental to maintaining this function. In this …

The patterns of species diversity of plankton functional groups (PFGs) remain poorly
understood although they matter greatly for marine ecosystem functioning. Here, we use an …

Nitrogen cycling is essential to ecosystem functioning and the overall health of our planet.
Ammonia, a nitrogen-containing product, as well as a nutrient, is promoted as a low-carbon …

Surface ocean marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) serves as an important reservoir of
carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in the global ocean, and is produced and …

The elemental composition of marine microorganisms (their C: N: P ratio, or stoichiometry) is
central to understanding the biotic and biogeochemical processes underlying key marine …

Coastal marine ecosystems worldwide are increasingly affected by tide alterations and
anthropogenic disturbances affecting the water quality and leading to frequent algal blooms …

The saturating relationship between phytoplankton growth rate and environmental nutrient
concentration has been widely observed, yet the mechanisms behind the relationship …

Fronts affect phytoplankton growth and phenology by locally reducing stratification and
increasing nutrient supplies. Biomass peaks at fronts have been observed in situ and linked …
