Viruses and Nutrient Cycles in the Sea
Abstract
Few of us may ever live on the sea or under it, but all of us are making increasing use of it either as a source of food and other materials, or as a dump.As our demands upon the ocean increase, so does our need to understand the ocean as an ecosystem.Basic to the understanding of any ecosystem is knowledge of its food web, through which energy and materials flow.(Pomeroy 1974, p. 499) iruses are typically viewed as pathogens that cause disease in animals and plants.In recent years, however, it has become increasingly clear that they play critical roles in the world's oceans.Of particular current interest is the influence of viruses on the cycling of nutrients and carbon in oceans.Viruses are abundant and dynamic members of marine systems (for reviews, see Borsheim 1993, Fuhrman and Suttle 1993, Bratbak et al. 1994), but they are sensitive to a variety of environmental stresses that can lead to their inactivation or destruction.It follows that maintaining abundant viral populations requires a high

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
