As salinity is an important indicator in marine geology, ecology, breeding, and other fields, accurate, rapid, and continuous measurement of salinity is of great significance in marine investigations....
Marine microbiomes play a crucial role in oceanic ecosystems, influencing biogeochemical cycles, climate regulation, and marine biodiversity. Accurate characterization of these microbial communities r...
Ocean acidification (OA) driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 is altering marine biodiversity. However, impacts of OA on ecosystem functioning at the community level, including calcification, primary ...
Integrating a self-healing function into soft nanorobots composed of polymers can extend their lifespan, particularly in harsh marine environments. While existing strategies have explored dynamic inte...
The growing demand for sustainable biomanufacturing has increased interest in nonfood, low-cost carbon feedstocks, particularly methanol and mannitol, owing to their availability and high energy densi...
Microbial degradation represents a promising remediation strategy for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polycarbonate (PC) microplastics, which have been widely detected in the Haima cold seeps. However, t...
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique en...
Heterotrophic bacteria process a large fraction of the polysaccharides produced by phytoplankton in the surface ocean. Some of these polysaccharides are taken up by "selfish" bacteria, which bind, par...
Deep-sea mining in polymetallic nodule areas poses significant risks to the marine carbon sink. This study investigated the vertical distribution and three-dimensional fluorescence spectral characteri...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, typical ecosystems characterized by abundant carbon but limited nitrogen, support thriving microbial activities. The source of nitrogen has long been a key ...
Ocean warming and acidification pose significant threats to marine biodiversity and human nutrition by fundamentally altering the biochemical composition of marine organisms. A primary concern is the ...
Coral diseases are increasing in prevalence, accelerating the global decline of tropical reefs, which threatens over 25% of marine biodiversity and vital ecosystem services for human societies. While ...
Microplastics (MPs) originating from synthetic polymers can act as vectors for harmful microorganisms and pollutants, exacerbating ecological risks. Vibrio harveyi, commonly found in seawater, is a ma...
Factors such as high humidity and salinity in the marine environment can accelerate material corrosion and wear. Achieving multiscale synergistic optimization of excellent mechanical and tribological ...
The oxidative enrichment and isotopic fractionation of cerium (Ce) in contact with vernadite (δ-MnO2) serve as a proxy for past redox conditions in both terrestrial and marine environments. However, t...
Global climate change is profoundly altering Arctic marine biodiversity, yet baseline data on fish assemblages in the central Arctic Ocean remain critically scarce. The Chukchi Borderland-a Pacific-At...
"Rotten" sea ice, ice in an advanced stage of melt, represents an important but understudied habitat in the rapidly changing Arctic. As Arctic warming accelerates, this late-season ice type will becom...
Direct observations from submersible dives off the Galapagos Islands have revealed that Pelagothuria natatrix, the only known holopelagic echinoderm, actively intercepts settling particles well before...
Microorganisms dominate life in the hadal zone, yet extreme sampling difficulty and low biomass have precluded characterization of their in situ activities. Here, we analyze microbiome samples collect...
Microplastic pollution in the Arctic Ocean poses potential risks to local ecosystems, particularly as global warming accelerates sea ice loss. Although high microplastic abundances in sea ice have bee...
