The climate in the Arctic is changing faster than anywhere else on earth. Poorly understood
feedback processes relating to Arctic clouds and aerosol–cloud interactions contribute to a …

Although plastic is ubiquitous in marine systems, our current knowledge of transport
mechanisms is limited. Much of the plastic entering the ocean sinks; this is intuitively obvious …

Prokaryotes play a central role in aquatic ecosystems by consuming approximately half of
the organic matter produced by aquatic primary production, of which a fraction is used for …

Microplastics (MPs) overlap in size with phytoplankton and can be ingested by zooplankton,
transferring them to higher trophic levels. Copepods are the most abundant metazoans …

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, prompting glacial melt, permafrost
thaw, and sea ice decline. These severe consequences induce feedbacks that contribute to …

Arsenic (As) uptake by plants is largely influenced by the presence of microbial consortia
and their interactions with As. In the coastal region of Bengal deltaic plain of Eastern India …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays important roles in the aquatic biogeochemical cycle
and the global carbon cycle. However, it is highly spatially and temporally varied due to …

Water transparency, usually denoted by Secchi disk depth (SSD), represents the first-order
description of water quality and has important implications for the diversity and productivity …

In the last decade, the northern Arabian Sea has witnessed a radical shift in the composition
of winter phytoplankton blooms, which previously comprised mainly of diatoms, the …

Particulate organic carbon (POC) plays vital roles in marine carbon cycle, serving as a part
of “biological pump” moving carbon to the deep ocean. The blue-to-green band ratio …
