16 wrz 2016 · We analyzed taxonomic and functional community profiles to determine the factors that shape marine bacterial and archaeal communities across the global ocean. By classifying >30,000 marine microorganisms into metabolic functional groups, we were able to disentangle functional from taxonomic community variation.
16 sty 2015 · Marine defaunation, or human-caused animal loss in the oceans, emerged forcefully only hundreds of years ago, whereas terrestrial defaunation has been occurring far longer. Though humans have cause...
31 mar 2013 · Microbial activity is a fundamental component of oceanic nutrient cycles. Photosynthetic microbes, collectively termed phytoplankton, are responsible for the vast majority of primary production...
9 sie 2023 · INTRODUCTION. Climate-driven changes in the oceans are projected to yield an average increase of 1° to 6°C in sea surface temperatures by 2100, which is likely to have profound effects on marine ecosystems and the communities, businesses, and fisheries that rely on them (1 – 3).
25 lis 2020 · Nature Ecology & Evolution - The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development presents an exceptional opportunity to effect positive change in ocean use. We outline...
Detritus of whatever origin is degraded through leaching of water-soluble compounds of mostly low molecular mass, the action of microbial and fungal decomposers, and feeding by animals, named detritivores (mostly in aquatic ecology; Latin: detri ́ tus: scree, rock debris; vora ́ re: to gobble, to gulp), being detritivorous, or saprophages (mostl...
The heterotrophic fate of detrital material in the marine environment has attracted widespread interest since the pioneer work of Teal (1962) and others established that primary production by wetland vegetation in coastal saltmarshes of Georgia, U.S.A., greatly...
