Characterizing the surface microlayer in the Mediterranean Sea: trace metal concentrations and microbial plankton abundance

<p>The Sea Surface Microlayer (SML) is known to be enriched by trace metals relative to the underlying water and harbor diverse microbial communities (i.e., neuston). However, the processes linking metals and biota in the SML are not yet fully understood. The metal (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mo, V,...
