Researchers at Florida Atlantic University's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute have released a landmark review tracing four decades of changes in pelagic sargassum—free-floating brown seaweed that ...

Findings show that the sedimentary environment can influence ecosystem function response to nutrient stress. In particular, denitrification enzyme activity was suppressed by nutrient enrichment, but ...

Overall, several ecosystem components demonstrated clear signs of improvement, suggesting that at least partial recovery is attainable. On this basis, we propose a conceptual scheme for recovery of ...

Researchers at Florida Atlantic University 's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute have released a landmark review tracing four decades of changes ...

Climate change will slow down deep overturning ocean circulation in the coming centuries. Using three dozen Earth system models, researchers have concluded that the Southern Meridional Overturning ...

Allochthonous: Organic matter or nutrients derived from external sources, commonly delivered to an ecosystem via riverine or glacial inputs.

A new study has shown how fish influence ocean ecosystems in coastal regions, revealing for the first time how they circulate nutrients and oxygen around the waters when they spawn. This process ...

A new study shows how shifts in ocean iron supply over millions of years impact marine life and carbon dioxide levels.

Changing ocean conditions making whale prey scarce are causing the mammals to stop singing, a recent study has found.

"These burrowing worms play a pivotal role in maintaining oxygen and nutrient circulation in the upper layer of sediment on the seabed, an activity that generates an entire ecosystem hidden under ...

A landmark review traces 40 years of changes in pelagic sargassum – free-floating brown seaweed that plays a vital role in the Atlantic Ocean ecosystem. The review takes a deep dive into the changing ...
