Insights from a cross-systems approach.- Where light and nutrients collide: The global distribution and activity of subsurface chlorophyll maximum layers.- An ecosystem in transition: the emergence of mixotrophy in the Arabian Sea.- The Saint Lawrence Island polynya: A 25-year evaluation of an analogue for climate change in polar regions.- Ecological processes and nutrient transfers from land to sea: a 25 year perspective on research and management of the Seine River.- Historical perspectives on water quality and biogeochemical cycling in Pensacola Bay, FL, USA.- Meeting in the middle: on the interactions between microalgae and their predators or zooplankton and their food.- Lake transparency: a window into decadal variations in dissolved organic carbon concentrations in Maine's Mount Desert Island lakes.- Phytoplankton biodiversity in the oligotrophic northwestern Sargasso Sea.- Biological oceanography of the Gulf of Carpentaria: A review.- Discerning the causes of toxic cyanobacteria (Lyngbya majuscula) blooms in Moreton Bay, Australia.- Copepod, ctenophore, and schyphomedusae control in structuring the Chesapeake Bay summer mesohaline planktonic food web.- Microbiogeochemical ecophysiology of freshwater hydrothermal vents in Mary Bay Canyon, Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park WY. 

Reviews

The title of the book is ambiguous, and the topics of the various chapters include a wide range of subject matter. The book highlights diverse perspectives and insights in the areas of aquatic microbial ecology and biogeochemistry ... . The individual reviews may be useful to researchers in the covered areas, and the book will be best suited to the libraries of those specific researchers. Summing Up: Recommended. (K. M. Foos, Choice, Vol. 54 (7), March, 2017)
