In the context of climate change, the phenomenon of oxygen-depleted areas in the ocean has become a focus of scientific attention in recent years. These areas, known as oxygen minimum zones (OMZ), are ...

Nutrient cycles quietly power every ecosystem on Earth, moving essential elements like carbon and nitrogen through land, water, and air. Scientists warn that disruptions—especially in the nitrogen ...

There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide removal—strategies designed to enhance the ocean's natural ability to absorb ...

If you were to collect all the organisms from the ocean surface down to 200 meters, you'd find that SAR11 bacteria, though invisible to the naked eye, would make up a fifth of the total biomass. These ...

Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ocean. Researchers report evidence that marine nutrient cycles -- essential for ...

A group of Japanese researchers have discovered how to estimate the age of marimo. They also successfully illuminated a mechanism that is vital for the algae balls’ growth. These findings will be ...
