Sulfur and primary production in aquatic environments: an ecological perspective
- Environmental SciencePhotosynthesis Research
- 2005
Sulfur is one of the critical elements in living matter, as it participates in several structural, metabolic and catalytic activities and can be released into the atmosphere by algal cells as dimethylsulfide, with possibly important repercussions on global climate.
