Advances in spectroscopic techniques have led to an increase in the use of optical
properties (absorbance and fluorescence) to assess dissolved organic matter (DOM) …

Viruses are a key component of marine ecosystems, but the assessment of their global role
in regulating microbial communities and the flux of carbon is precluded by a paucity of data …

Absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy are economical tools for tracing the supply,
turnover and fate of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The colored and fluorescent fractions of …

The deep scattering layer (DSL) is a ubiquitous acoustic signature found across all oceans
and arguably the dominant feature structuring the pelagic open ocean ecosystem. It is …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a crucial role in both the carbon cycle and
geochemical cycles of other nutrient elements, which is of importance to the management …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a crucial driver of various biogeochemical processes in
aquatic systems. Thus, many lakes and streams have been investigated in the past several …

Aim Dispersal and environmental gradients shape marine microbial communities, yet the
relative importance of these factors across taxa with distinct sizes and dispersal capacity in …

The ocean's mercury (Hg) content has tripled due to anthropogenic activities, and although
the dark ocean (> 200 m) has become an important Hg reservoir, concentrations of the toxic …

Due to the scarcity of organic matter (OM) sources in the bathypelagic (1000–4000 m depth),
prokaryotic metabolism is believed to be concentrated on particles originating from the …

Our current knowledge of the chemical composition of ocean dissolved organic matter
(DOM) is limited, mainly because of its extreme molecular diversity, low concentration of …
