Additionally, the entire biosphere is reliant on the sediments produced by weathering of the geosphere. These sediments provide the matrix for nutrient-dense soil, which is necessary for vegetation to grow, whic

For some micro- habitats, especially those with high nutrient content and microbial activity, the proportion of representative strains available in culture relative to the molecular spe- cies detected by sequencing grew from 35 to 65%, as it was stated for the gut microbiota [125]. Similar ...
The field of microbiome research has evolved rapidly over the past few decades and has become a topic of great scientific and public interest. As a result of this rapid growth in interest covering different fields, we are lacking a clear commonly agreed definition of the term “microbiome.” M...
(a continuation of theKuroshiofrom Japan) causes an outland transport of water andcombineswith a compensating nutrient-rich current along the California coast to make this area highly productive. The same situation exists along the west coast of southern Africa, which is influenced by theBenguela ...
which includes all the open waters beyond the continental shelf. The high nutrient levels of the neritic province—resulting from dissolved materials in riverine runoff—distinguish this province from the oceanic. The upper portion of both the neritic and oceanic waters—theepipelagic zone—is where ...
The high nutrient levels of the neritic province—resulting from dissolved materials in riverine runoff—distinguish this province from the oceanic. The upper portion of both the neritic and oceanic waters—the epipelagic zone—is where photosynthesis occurs; it is roughly equivalent to the photic ...
