Viruses in marine sediments: a review of their effect on biogeochemistry and microbial interactions [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyViruses are known to impact the flow of carbon through the environment, while also impacting the microbial community around them. While this has been reexamined in recent years in the marine water column, viral impacts on marine sediments, the microbes ...

A case for addressing the unresolved role of permeable shelf sediments in ocean denitrification
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2022 The marine nitrogen cycle is a main driver of ocean productivity and affects global climate. Despite decades of study, we still have an incomplete understanding of the role of the marine nitrogen cycle in the Earth system.

Ocean sediments as the global sink for marine micro‐ and mesoplastics
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2022 About 15 Tg of plastic are estimated to enter the ocean yearly, with this figure growing exponentially every year. Assessments of floating marine plastic amount to 0.2% of the expected plastic stock, implying that 99.8% is stored in a sink yet to be ...

Global 3‐D Electrical Conductivity Model of the World Ocean and Marine Sediments
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 This study presents global 3‐D electrical conductivity models of the world ocean and marine sediments. Electrical conductivity of the ocean was calculated by invoking the Equation of State of Seawater (TEOS‐10) with temperature and salinity data ...

Source Identification of brGDGTs in the Surface Sediments of the East China Sea
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are components of bacterial membranes in terrestrial soils, which are widely used in paleoenvironmental reconstruction in global terrestrial soils and marine sediments.

Transport of branched tetraether lipids from the Tagus River basin to the coastal ocean of the Portuguese margin: consequences for the interpretation of the MBT'/CBT paleothermometer [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs), which are thought to be transported from soil to marine sediment by rivers, have been used to reconstruct the mean annual air temperature (MAAT) and soil pH of the drainage basin using the ...
