Microbes on marine snow may slow how far ocean carbon sinks
Bacteria riding on sinking ocean particles can erode the mineral ballast that helps those particles descend, slowing the ...
What is the role of dissolved organic matter in the deep sea? In a study relating to this question, researchers from the Universities of Bremen and Oldenburg have investigated the composition of ...
New study shows that 16 percent of the Arctic Ocean’s organic carbon comes from terrestrial sources, such as thawing permafrost and eroding coastlines. Climate change and the associated rising ...
A new study reveals that a small but powerful component of biochar, known as dissolved organic matter, plays a surprisingly large role in capturing toxic lead from contaminated water. The research, ...
