Journal Article
Githaiga, M. N., Kairo, J. G., Njoroge Githaiga, M., Gitundu, K., Gilpin, L., & Huxham, M. (2017). Carbon storage in the seagrass meadows of Gazi Bay, Kenya. PLOS ONE, 12(5), Article e0177001. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0177001

Vegetated marine habitats are globally important carbon sinks, making a significant contribution towards mitigating climate change, and they provide a wide range of other ecosystem services. However, large gaps in knowledge remain, particularly for s... Read More about Carbon storage in the seagrass meadows of Gazi Bay, Kenya.

The influence of the balance of inorganic and organic nitrogen on the trophic dynamics of microbial food webs. (2007)
Journal Article

A nutrient-manipulation mesocosm study was conducted in Norwegian coastal waters to determine the effect
on a nitrogen-limited microbial food web of changes in the relative concentrations of dissolved organic and
inorganic nitrogen (N). Four replic... Read More about The influence of the balance of inorganic and organic nitrogen on the trophic dynamics of microbial food webs..

An understanding of undesirable disturbance to the balance of organisms is needed to diagnose marine eutrophication as defined by EU Directives and OSPAR. This review summarizes the findings of the UK Defra-funded Undesirable Disturbance Study Team,...

A manipulative field experiment was conducted at Blackness in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, to study the effects of differences in microphytobenthos abundance on sediment stability and macrofauna. Opaque and transparent Perspex was used to construct... Read More about Microalgae, macrofauna and sedimentary stability: an experimental test of a reciprocal relationship..

The influence of changes in nitrogen: silicon ratios on diatom growth dynamics (2004)
Journal Article
Gilpin, L., Davidson, K., & Roberts, E. (2004). The influence of changes in nitrogen: silicon ratios on diatom growth dynamics. Journal of Sea Research, 51(1), 21-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seares.2003.05.005

Nitrate loading to coastal waters has increased over recent decades while silicon loading has remained relatively constant or decreased. As the N:Si ratio in coastal waters shifts due to these anthropogenic influences, silicate limitation of diatom b...

Coupled dynamics of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and dimethylsulfide cycling and the microbial food web in surface waters of the North Atlantic. (2002)
Journal Article
Simo, R., Archer, S. D., Pedrós-Alió, C., Gilpin, L., & Stelfox-Widdicombe, C. E. (2002). Coupled dynamics of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and dimethylsulfide cycling and the microbial food web in surface waters of the North Atlantic. Limnology and Oceanography, 47, 53-61

Oceanic dimethylsulfide (DMS), the main natural source of sulfur to the global atmosphere, is suggested to play a key role in the interaction between marine biota and climate. Its biochemical precursor is dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a globally...
