Marine and coastal ecosystems

This cluster of papers focuses on the complex interactions between marine biogeochemistry, ecosystem dynamics, and environmental factors such as eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, and climate change. It explores the role of dissolved organic matter, nutrient limitation, and phytoplankton in the oceanic carbon cycle and highlights the impact of global warming on biological productivity and oxygen levels in the oceans.

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
