Beyond Critical Depth: New Ways to Think About Ocean Productivity
Ocean productivity depends on a delicate balance of competing forces. New research reveals how feedbacks, thresholds, and resource trade-offs combine to shape the growth of phytoplankton, the microscopic plants that sustain life in the sea. Continue reading “Beyond Critical Depth: New Ways to Think About Ocean Productivity”
Feast, Famine, and Phosphorus in the Open Ocean
A new CBIOMES study shows that phosphorus availability can dramatically reshape the chemistry of Crocosphaera, a key nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium, with implications for nutrient cycling across the global ocean.

The Hidden Dominance of Slow-Growing Bacteria
A new study reveals that microbial ecosystems may be shaped less by fast-growing opportunists than by slow-growing organisms adapted to survive and persist. Continue reading “The Hidden Dominance of Slow-Growing Bacteria”
