Understanding marine microbial roles in food webs and biogeochemical cycles requires examining biochemical interactions at relevant scales. Scaling these local microbial impacts is crucial for predicting ocean ecosystem responses to global change.

Area of Science:

  • Marine microbial ecology
  • Biogeochemical cycles
  • Oceanography

Background:

  • Advances in marine microorganism diversity assessment have been made.
  • Mechanisms of microbial participation in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles remain poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the necessity of examining biochemical interactions between microorganisms and ocean systems.
  • To emphasize the importance of studying these interactions at the nanometre to millimetre scale.

Main Methods:

  • Investigating microbial biochemical interactions at the nanometre to millimetre scale.
  • Scaling up local microbial impacts on biogeochemical cycles.

Main Results:

  • Microbial interactions at the nanometre to millimetre scale are critical for understanding their role in ocean systems.
