摘要

微生物观察对评估科学和社会关注的海洋现象（包括海洋生产力，有害藻华和病原体暴露）具有高度相关性。但是，我们尚未意识到其有可能连贯全面地报告全球海洋状况。卫星监测浮游植物分布的能力已将我们对微生物的欣赏转变为关键生态系统服务的基础;然而，需要更深入地了解微生物动态，以全面评估海洋生态系统中自然和人为造成的变化。虽然这第一个综合表明存在着显着的努力，但是诸如海洋深处，开放海洋，极地海洋和南半球大部分地区等广大地区缺乏一致的观察结果。为了确保全球微生物观测系统的协调未来，现有的长期努力必须更好地联网，以产生全球海洋州和健康的共同生物指标。

Microbial observation is of high relevance in assessing marine phenomena of scientific and societal concern including ocean productivity, harmful algal blooms, and pathogenexposure. However, we have yet to realise its potential to coherently and comprehensively report on global ocean status. The ability of satellites to monitor the distribution of phytoplankton has transformed our appreciation of microbes as the foundation of key ecosystem services; however, more in-depth understanding of microbial dynamics is needed to fully assess natural and anthropogenically induced variation in ocean ecosystems. While this first synthesis shows that notable efforts exist, vast regions such as the ocean depths, the open ocean, the polar oceans, and most of the Southern Hemisphere lack consistent observation. To secure a coordinated future for a global microbial observing system, existing long-term efforts must be better networked to generate shared bioindicators of the Global Ocean's state and health.
