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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
"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...
Although nitrogen fixation has recently been recognized in the Arctic Ocean, the biogeographical patterns of diazotrophs in this region remain poorly resolved, leaving a critical gap in understanding ...
By tracking the water mass histories of genetic samples, we investigated the biophysical dynamics shaping eukaryotic phytoplankton populations in a nutrient-deplete subtropical gyre, where cyanobacter...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) as well as current-use pesticides (CUPs) are considered to be contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), but there is limited information that exists a...
The seawater refractive index gradient is a critical optical parameter for characterizing marine environmental dynamics, with significant implications for marine ecology, ocean dynamics, and ocean opt...
The marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool is one of Earth's largest carbon reservoirs and a critical regulator of global carbon flux, yet the microbe-molecule interactions governing it remain lar...
Marine microorganisms are vital to biogeochemical cycles and food web dynamics, with their community structure shaped by environmental factors such as temperature, light, and salinity. While microbial...
Antimicrobial resistance studies have focused on clinical bacteria, neglecting the role of resistant isolates in natural environments. However, oceans are daily contaminated with high loads of antimic...
Microplastics (MPs) contaminate marine environments from surface waters to deep sediments. Approximately half of global plastic production consists of low-density polymers that should float in seawate...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a non-invasive approach for monitoring cetaceans, yet its widespread application from operational platforms requires standardized and feasible sampling workflows. This ...
Photosynthetic microorganisms are responsible for primary production at the base of the marine food web and influence global biogeochemistry. Their growth is balanced by mortality processes, including...
