Response of the Eastern Mediterranean microbial ecosystem to dust and dust affected by acid processing in the atmosphere

Acid processes in the atmosphere, particularly those caused by anthropogenic acid gases, increase the amount of bioavailable P in dust and hence are predicted to increase microbial biomass and primary productivity when supplied to oceanic surface waters. This is likely to be particularly important i...
