Summary: | Coastal marine systems are highly dynamic systems which are characterized by periodic
fluctuations in environmental parameters. Microbial activities play critical roles in the
remineralization of nutrient and primary production in coastal especially intertidal systems.
Many of the biological and physico-chemical processes which are mediated by
microorganisms occur within microenvironments which can be measured over micrometer
spatial scale. This paper emphasised that the influences of physico-chemical fluctuations
within coastal systems were addressed in the understanding of small-scale microbial
activities. |
