Marine Biodiversity of Eastern Tropical Pacific Coral Reefs
The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) is an isolated oceanic region exposed to extreme oceanographic conditions, including low salinity, low pH, high...

Comparing Measures of Estuarine Ecosystem Production in a Temperate New England Estuary
Anthropogenic nutrient enrichments and concerted efforts at nutrient reductions, compounded with the influences of climate change, are likely...

Effects of the fungicide pyrimethanil on biofilm and organic matter processing in outdoor lentic mesocosms
The effect of the fungicide pyrimethanil (0.7 mg L −1 ) on biofilm development and alder leaf litter decomposition in aquatic ecosystems was assessed...

Fiber optic light sensor
We describe a low-cost fiber optic sensor for measuring photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in turbulent flow. Existing technology was combined...

Climate Change, Ocean Chemistry, and the Evolution of Reefs Through Time
Reef building has responded to changes in climate, ocean chemistry, and a variety of other physical and biological factors during the geologic past,...

Community metabolism in a deep (stratified) tropical reservoir during a period of high water-level fluctuations
As long as lakes and reservoirs are an important component of the global carbon cycle, monitoring of their metabolism is required, especially in the...

Microbenthic community structure and trophic status of sediments in the Mar Piccolo of Taranto (Mediterranean, Ionian Sea)
This study aimed to assess the benthic ecosystem trophic status in a heavily polluted marine area and the response of the microbenthic community to...

Carbon Dynamics on the Louisiana Continental Shelf and Cross-Shelf Feeding of Hypoxia
Large-scale hypoxia regularly develops during the summer on the Louisiana continental shelf. Traditionally, hypoxia has been linked to the vast...

Scale-up Problems for the Large Scale Production of Algae
Microalgae are a natural source of high-value compounds for pharmaceutical and food industry and can also be a source of biofuels. Usually naturally...
-
The Deep Biosphere of the Subseafloor Igneous Crust
The igneous portion of the subseafloor crust is considered to be the largest potential microbial habitat on Earth; thus, it is somewhat of a paradox...

Foam production as a side effect of an offshore liquefied natural gas terminal: how do plankton deal with it?
The future growing demand of fossil fuels likely will lead to an increased deployment of liquefied natural gas terminals. However, some concerns...

Grassland–Crop** Rotations: An Avenue for Agricultural Diversification to Reconcile High Production with Environmental Quality
A need to increase agricultural production across the world to ensure continued food security appears to be at odds with the urgency to reduce the...

Field Studies and Taxonomic Revision, 1901–1945
Although much had been accomplished by the turn of the century, the missing element facing early 20th century scientists was that research had...

Denitrification Dominates Sediment Nitrogen Removal and Is Enhanced by Bottom-Water Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Nutrient loads from the Mississippi River watershed are associated with seasonal development of bottom-water hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico....

Impacts of Climate-Related Drivers on the Benthic Nutrient Filter in a Shallow Photic Estuary
In shallow photic systems, the benthic filter, including microphytobenthos and denitrifiers, is important in preventing or reducing release of...

Seasonality in the distribution of dinoflagellates with special reference to harmful algal species in tropical coastal environment, Bay of Bengal
A study was carried out in the coastal waters of Kalpakkam, southeast coast of India, to find out the seasonal variation in dinoflagellate community...
-
Benthic coral reef calcium carbonate dissolution in an acidifying ocean
Changes in CaCO 3 dissolution due to ocean acidification are potentially more important than changes in calcification to the future accretion and...
-
Large Natural pH, CO2 and O2 Fluctuations in a Temperate Tidal Salt Marsh on Diel, Seasonal, and Interannual Time Scales
Coastal marine organisms experience dynamic pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions in their natural habitats, which may impact their susceptibility...
