Reefs under Siege—the Rise, Putative Drivers, and Consequences of Benthic Cyanobacterial Mats
Benthic cyanobacteria have commonly been a small but integral component of coral reef ecosystems, fulfilling the critical function of introducing bioavailable nitrogen to an inherently oligotrophic environment. Though surveys may have previously neglected benthic cyanobacteria, or grouped them with...
