This session will explore the mechanisms and processes governing carbon cycling in oceanic environments. Emphasis will be placed on the role of biological and physical interactions in regulating carbon fluxes and storage.
This track will focus on the complex nitrogen cycles within marine systems, including sources, transformations, and sinks. Discussions will highlight the implications of nitrogen dynamics for ecosystem health and productivity.
This session aims to investigate phosphorus cycling in marine environments, addressing its sources, transport mechanisms, and biological uptake. The ecological consequences of phosphorus limitation and enrichment will also be examined.
This track will delve into the role of microbial communities in mediating biogeochemical processes in the ocean. Topics will include microbial metabolism, nutrient remineralization, and their impact on overall ocean productivity.
This session will assess factors influencing primary production in marine ecosystems, including light availability, nutrient dynamics, and temperature. The relationship between primary production and broader ocean productivity will be a focal point.
This track will present advancements in biogeochemical modeling techniques used to simulate nutrient cycles and ecosystem responses in marine environments. Participants will discuss the integration of observational data and model predictions.
This session will explore the sources, composition, and fate of dissolved organic matter in the ocean. The role of dissolved organic matter in nutrient cycling and its influence on marine food webs will be emphasized.
This track will investigate the distribution and biogeochemical significance of trace elements in oceanic systems. Discussions will include their roles as micronutrients and their interactions with biological processes.
This session will focus on identifying and understanding biogeochemical hotspots within marine ecosystems. The interactions between physical, chemical, and biological processes that drive these hotspots will be a key theme.
This track will examine the role of sediments in nutrient cycling and their interactions with overlying water columns. The implications of sediment biogeochemistry for marine ecosystems and global nutrient dynamics will be discussed.
This session will address the impacts of climate change on ocean biogeochemical cycles, including alterations in nutrient availability and ecosystem responses. The potential feedback mechanisms between biogeochemistry and climate will also be explored.
