The Arctic Ocean, once locked in a vault of thick, old ice, now is transforming at lightspeed. Temperatures there are ...

Study suggests melting Arctic ice boosts nitrogen levels, potentially enriching marine life in region - Anadolu Ajansı ...

The shrinking sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is, overall, a disaster. But paradoxically, the melting of the ice can also fuel ...

Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

In the nitrogen cycle, phytoplankton and other marine plants turn nitrate (NO 3) into organic nitrogen during photosynthesis. The organic nitrogen sinks into the deep ocean, where microbes "eat" the ...

As much as a third of the nitrogen entering the world’s oceans from the atmosphere is man-made, according to new findings by an international team of scientists. This has significant implications for ...

Calcean Minerals and Materials, based in Gadsden, in northeastern Alabama, utilizes oolitic aragonite, a biogenic, ocean-formed version of calcium carbonate that offers a renewable alternative to ...

Arctic rivers are sending clear warnings about the impacts of climate change, especially in the Arctic regions. As the planet warms, temperatures and ice cover are not the only things that are ...

As Arctic ice melts, a surprising process unfolds. Learn how nitrogen fixation is fuelling algae growth, supporting marine ...

It is common knowledge that there would be no oxygen on Earth were it not for sunlight; the key component in photosynthesis. Now researchers have made the surprising discovery that oxygen is also ...

Eukaryotic phytoplankton drive a decrease in primary production under ocean acidification. Credit: Dalin Shi Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and ...
