New research has revealed that the disappearance of sea ice is not only increasing the amount of light entering the ocean but ...

The vast, sunlit waters of the ocean’s surface, known as the photic zone, nurture 90% of marine life. Sunlight and moonlight ...

A new insight into global photosynthesis, the chemical process governing how ocean and land plants absorb and release carbon dioxide, has been revealed in research that will assist scientists to ...

making photosynthesis impossible. Instead, the oxygen originates from natural mineral deposits on the ocean floor that act as weak batteries capable of producing enough voltage to split seawater i ...

Chinese researchers have developed a technology that sheds light on how the three-dimensional (3D) organization of plant ...

The study shows that photosynthesis in the ocean is possible under much lower light conditions, and can therefore take place at much greater depths, than previously assumed. Photosynthesis can ...

Researchers scouring the lightless landscape of the Pacific Ocean floor think they've observed ... it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis, a process that requires ...

She began to wonder about the vast, cold blackness of the polar ocean. In early 2020, Hoppe found herself testing the limits of photosynthesis directly, camped aboard an icebreaker ship that had been ...

The microscopic marine organisms, which serve as an important food source in the ocean, use photosynthesis to turn sunlight into cellular fuel. But nearly twice as much of the sunlight energy ...

The results were particularly surprising because photosynthesis in the Arctic Ocean took place under snow-covered sea ice, which only allows a few photons of incident sunlight to pass through ...

Its finding that there’s another source of oxygen on the planet other than photosynthesis also has ... disrupt the way carbon is stored in the ocean, contributing to the climate crisis.
