The Biogeochemistry of Benthic Photosynthetic CommunitiesThis lecture presentation discusses microbial mats are our earliest, and most pervasive evidence of life on Earth. In addition to their importance as the crucible of microbial evolution on Earth, microbial mats may be important in our search for life outside of our solar system. This lecture will introduce various types of microbial mats, and their fossilized counterparts, stromatolites by presenting examples of these communities. Biogeochemical cycles important in microbial mats will be introduced and discussed.
