The discovery of dark oxygen clearly has potential implications for the deep-sea mining industry. Deep-sea mining would ...

A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal revealed that microplastics could have a ...

On average, these little particles could reduce photosynthesis in plants and algae by up to 12 percent, according to the paper ...

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean acidification reduces primary production, the process of photosynthesis in ...

(C) In the coastal ocean, photosynthesis, decomposition and re-exchanging of CO2 with the atmosphere still continue. Solid organic carbon (e.g., soil particles, phytoplankton cells) is buried in ...

Microplastics are hindering photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert energy from the sun into the fruit and ...

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 ...

Productivity fuels life in the ocean, drives its chemical cycles, and lowers atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nutrient uptake and export interact with circulation to yield distinct ocean regimes.

microscopic marine algae known as phytoplankton also feed on CO2 and use photosynthesis to produce energy. Seagrasses and phytoplankton near the ocean’s surface form the base of the aquatic food ...

When the sun sets, the ocean comes alive with a whole new world of marine life. Here's what you can expect—and how to prepare ...

Through one of the primary carbon storage mechanisms, the biological carbon pump, phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants at the bottom of the oceanic food chain) take up CO 2 in the surface ocean ...
