The Size-Reactivity Continuum of Major Bioelements in the OceanAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 185-205 - 2015
Ronald Benner, Rainer M. W. Amon
Most of the carbon fixed in primary production is rapidly cycled and remin-eralized, leaving behind various forms of organic carbon that contribute to a vast reservoir of nonliving organic matter in seawater. Most of this carbon resides in dissolved molecules of varying bioavailability and reactivity, and aspects of the cycling of this carbon remain an enigma. The size-reactivity continuum...... hiện toàn bộ
The Physiology of Global Change: Linking Patterns to MechanismsAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 39-61 - 2012
George N. Somero
Global change includes alterations in ocean temperature, oxygen availability, salinity, and pH, abiotic variables with strong and interacting influences on the physiology of all taxa. Physiological stresses resulting from changes in these four variables may cause broad biogeographic shifts as well as localized changes in distribution in mosaic habitats. To elucidate these causal linkages, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Nitrogen Cycle of the Open Ocean: From Genes to EcosystemsAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 197-225 - 2011
Jonathan P. Zehr, Raphael M. Kudela
The marine nitrogen (N) cycle controls the productivity of the oceans. This cycle is driven by complex biogeochemical transformations, including nitrogen fixation, denitrification, and assimilation and anaerobic ammonia oxidation, mediated by microorganisms. New processes and organisms continue to be discovered, complicating the already complex picture of oceanic N cycling. Genomics resear...... hiện toàn bộ
Centuries of Human-Driven Change in Salt Marsh EcosystemsAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 117-141 - 2009
Keryn B. Gedan, Brian R. Silliman, Mark D. Bertness
Salt marshes are among the most abundant, fertile, and accessible coastal habitats on earth, and they provide more ecosystem services to coastal populations than any other environment. Since the Middle Ages, humans have manipulated salt marshes at a grand scale, altering species composition, distribution, and ecosystem function. Here, we review historic and contemporary human activities i...... hiện toàn bộ
Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2ProblemAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 169-192 - 2009
Scott C. Doney, Victoria J. Fabry, Richard A. Feely, Joan A. Kleypas
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), primarily from human fossil fuel combustion, reduces ocean pH and causes wholesale shifts in seawater carbonate chemistry. The process of ocean acidification is well documented in field data, and the rate will accelerate over this century unless future CO2emissions are curbed dramatically. Acidification alte...... hiện toàn bộ
The Global Distribution and Dynamics of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic MatterAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 447-476 - 2013
Norman B. Nelson, David A. Siegel
Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is a ubiquitous component of the open ocean dissolved matter pool, and is important owing to its influence on the optical properties of the water column, its role in photochemistry and photobiology, and its utility as a tracer of deep ocean biogeochemical processes and circulation. In this review, we discuss the global distribution and dynamics...... hiện toàn bộ
Hypoxia, Nitrogen, and Fisheries: Integrating Effects Across Local and Global LandscapesAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 329-349 - 2009
Denise L. Breitburg, Darryl W. Hondorp, Lori A. Davias, Robert J. Díaz
Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment and physical characteristics result in low dissolved oxygen concentrations (hypoxia) in estuaries and semienclosed seas throughout the world. Published research indicates that within and near oxygen-depleted waters, finfish and mobile macroinvertebrates experience negative effects that range from mortality to altered trophic interactions. Chronic exposure...... hiện toàn bộ
Local Adaptation in Marine InvertebratesAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 509-535 - 2011
Eric Sanford, Morgan W. Kelly
Local adaptation in the sea was regarded historically as a rare phenomenon that was limited to a handful of species with exceptionally low dispersal potential. However, a growing body of experimental studies indicates that adaptive differentiation occurs in numerous marine invertebrates in response to selection imposed by strong gradients (and more complex mosaics) of abiotic and biotic c...... hiện toàn bộ
Progress in Understanding Harmful Algal Blooms: Paradigm Shifts and New Technologies for Research, Monitoring, and ManagementAnnual Review of Marine Science - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 143-176 - 2012
Donald M. Anderson, Allan Cembella, Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff
The public health, tourism, fisheries, and ecosystem impacts from harmful algal blooms (HABs) have all increased over the past few decades. This has led to heightened scientific and regulatory attention, and the development of many new technologies and approaches for research and management. This, in turn, is leading to significant paradigm shifts with regard to, e.g., our interpretation o...... hiện toàn bộ
