Breaking down disciplinary silos in marine sciences, a key to climate forecasting
Alessandro Tagliabue exposes how ocean modelling must evolve to take the biological complexity of the surface ocean into account.

This study provides evidence for the processing of nine particulate trace metals in multiple manners by diverse microbial communities.
Microorganisms play a central role in the transfer of matter and energy in the marine food web. Microbes depend on micronutrients (e.g. iron, cobalt, zinc, and a host of other […]
Siderophores are organic compounds secreted by microbes to facilitate iron uptake. Using new methods to characterize trace metal organic ligands in seawater, Boiteau and colleagues (2016, see reference below) measured […]
Local particulate maxima in many bioactive trace metals (cadmium, Cd; cobalt, Co; nickel, Ni; vanadium, V; and zinc, Zn) are found in the upper Oxygen Deficient Zone (ODZ), coincident with […]
