Microplastics affect global nutrient cycle and oxygen levels in the ocean GEOMAR study points to possible major changes in the marine ecosystem Harnessing the power of microbial communities for plastic degradation Researchers propose new approach in the search for biological plastic degradation Microplastics in corals A new study by the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) looks at the impact of microplastics on corals. Reliably Measuring Whether Rivers or Lakes Run Out of Air International study shows that freshwater polluted by fecal material can be determined more quickly and reliably using a new technique The Amazon and the sea Expedition investigates matter fluxes and food webs in the world’s largest river plume Polarstern expedition investigates massive calved iceberg Experts explore for the first time life on the seafloor in a region formerly covered by thick ice IUCN mangrove experts caution against mass planting Mangrove ecologist Martin Zimmer explains the background Pilot missions of the DAM to study impact of bottom trawling on marine protected areas in the North Sea and Baltic Sea The pilot missions were presented today, thereby launching the DAM research activities Fighting the Salmon Louse A new procedure for effectively and gently eliminating dangerous parasites No offspring for cod and herring Scientists alerted: Fish stocks in the western Baltic Sea threatened by collapse When methane-eating microbes eat ammonia instead Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Bremen, and Radboud University, Nijmegen now discovered the enzyme that produces NO, closing an important gap in our understanding of how methanotrophs deal with rising environmental ammonia concentrations.
