For many years, the deep ocean has been seen as a nutrient-poor environment where microbes living in the water survive on very limited resources. But new research from the University of Southern ...

Microorganisms are the engines that drive most marine processes. Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account. Marine microorganisms are crucial for ocean health.

The special collection dedicated to the “Integration of Marine Protected Areas and Maritime Spatial Planning Processes” will explore the critical intersection of marine biodiversity conservation and ...

Coastal and marine social-ecological systems are among the most productive yet vulnerable on Earth. They provide critical resources and ecosystem services, ...

Limited understanding of basic ocean processes is hindering progress in marine carbon dioxide removal, with the on-going commercialisation of some approaches “premature and misguided”. In a new paper, ...

In just over 20 years, the northward shift of the subtropical jet stream—a high-altitude airflow—caused by climate change has reduced primary production in the northwestern Mediterranean by about 40%.
