Metal dissolution from atmospheric aerosol deposition to the oceans is important in
enhancing and inhibiting phytoplankton growth rates and modifying plankton community …

Trace metals are required for numerous processes in phytoplankton and can influence the
growth and structure of natural phytoplankton communities. The metal contents of …

Nutrient availability limits phytoplankton growth throughout much of the global ocean. Here
we synthesize available experimental data to identify three dominant nutrient limitation …

The Cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus account for a substantial fraction
of marine primary production. Here, we present quantitative niche models for these lineages …

Nutrient limitation of oceanic primary production exerts a fundamental control on marine
food webs and the flux of carbon into the deep ocean. The extensive boundaries of the …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus numerically
dominate the picophytoplankton of the world ocean, making a key contribution to global …

In addition to control by major nutrient elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicon) the
productivity and species composition of marine phytoplankton communities are also …

Microbial ecology is the study of interactions among microbes in natural environments and
their roles in biogeochemical cycles, food web dynamics, and the evolution of life. Microbes …

Marine cyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are important
contributors to global primary production occupying a key position at the base of marine food …

A novel method, combining isotope dilution with standard additions, was developed for the
analysis of eight elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in seawater. The method …
