Coastal eutrophication caused by anthropogenic nutrient inputs is one of the greatest threats
to the health of coastal estuarine and marine ecosystems worldwide. Globally,∼ 24% of the …

The seabed plays a key role in the marine carbon cycle as a) the terminal location of aerobic
oxidation of organic matter, b) the greatest anaerobic bioreactor, and c) the greatest …

Aquatic environments experiencing low-oxygen conditions have been described as hypoxic,
suboxic, or anoxic zones; oxygen minimum zones; and, in the popular media, the misnomer …

The Ocean plays a central role in Earth's climate and has absorbed 93% of the extra energy
from the enhanced greenhouse effect and approximately 30% of anthropogenic carbon …

Deoxygenation is a global problem in coastal and open regions of the ocean, and has led to
expanding areas of oxygen minimum zones and coastal hypoxia. The recent expansion of …

Water masses can become undersaturated with oxygen when natural processes alone or in
combination with anthropogenic processes produce enough organic carbon that is …

Despite increasing concerns about microplastic (MP) pollution in aquatic ecosystems, there
is insufficient knowledge on how MP affect fungal communities. In this study, we explored …

Human activities, especially increased nutrient loads that set in motion a cascading chain of
events related to eutrophication, accelerate development of hypoxia (lower oxygen …

Hypoxia is a well-described phenomenon in the offshore waters of the Baltic Sea with both
the spatial extent and intensity of hypoxia known to have increased due to anthropogenic …

A comprehensive reconstruction of the Baltic Sea state from 1850 to 2006 is presented:
driving forces are reconstructed and the evolution of the hydrography and biogeochemical …
