Redox heterogeneity as an engine of biodiversity: A quantitative murburn formalism for micro-oxic ecosystems
Biodiversity frequently peaks in fluctuating micro-oxic environments such as marine oxygen minimum zone interfaces, rhizospheric aggregates, sediments, microbial mats, and gut mucus layers. Yet, classical ecological theories do not adequately explain why intermediate oxygen tensions repeatedly favor coexistence and diversification. Herein, we propose a murburn ecological formalism wherein oxygen…
