About this book
Reviews
“The book serves as a compact primer to newcomers and provides an updated collection of references for more advanced researchers. I expect it will be a well-used resource for biological oceanography and marine microbial ecology courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. … The book is approachable to anybody interested in marine microbes, plankton and the health of the marine ecosystems.” (Pia H. Moisander, Journal of Plankton Research, Vol. 43 (4), 2021)

About the authors
Dr. Douglas G. Capone is a Professor in the Dornsife College of and William and Julie Wrigley Chair in Environmental Studies at the University of Southern California (USC). Dornsife. He received his Ph.D. in Oceanography from the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences of the University of Miami (Fl) in 1978. He joined the faculty of the Marine Sciences Research Center of Stony Brook University (NY) in 1979 and the Center for Environmental Science of the University of Maryland in 1987. Since 1999, he has held the Wrigley Chair of Environmental Biology at the USC and served as Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences from 2008 to 2019. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His research focuses on the role and importance of marine microbes in major biogeochemical cycles, particularly those of nitrogen and carbon, both from the perspective of the fundamental ecology of these process in marine ecosystems and their physical, chemical and biotic controls.
