Book excerpt: With global climate change and the deterioration of the marine environment, the biogeochemical processes of the main biogenic elements in the ocean have received considerable attention. The spatiotemporal distribution patterns, migration and transformation processes of marine biogenic elements, as well as the responses to environmental factors such as global warming, atmospheric sedimentation, eutrophication, ocean acidification, and hypoxia, have attracted widespread attention. Microorganisms are the main drivers of the biogenic factor cycle. Climate change and the deterioration of the marine environment have profoundly affected the structure and function of microbial communities, leading to changes in the biogenic factor cycle mediated by microorganisms, and changing the position and role of the oceans in the global biogenic factor cycle and climate change.
