Changes in land use and the development of coastal regions around the world have
markedly increased rates of sediment input into estuarine and coastal habitats. Field studies …

Estuaries, rias, fjords, coastal lagoons, bahiras, river mouths, tidal creeks, deltas and similar
coastal environments are often regarded as a single broad conceptual class.'Brackish',' …

Urbanization is a major cause of loss of coastal wetlands. Urbanization also exerts
significant influences on the structure and function of coastal wetlands, mainly through …

Global climate change will undoubtedly be a pressure on coastal marine ecosystems,
affecting not only species distributions and physiology but also ecosystem functioning. In the …

Studies of the coral microbiome predominantly characterize the microbial community of the
host species as a collective, rather than that of the individual. This ecological perspective on …

Australia's marine life is highly diverse and endemic. Here we describe projections of
climate change in Australian waters and examine from the literature likely impacts of these …

Species distribution models (SDMs) were applied to predict the distribution of benthic
species in the North Sea. An understanding of species distribution patterns is essential to …

Benthic soft-sediment organisms generally show strong relationships with the grain-size
characteristics of the sediments they inhabit. These relationships, when characterised from …

The marine ecosystem is known to be influenced by a combination of physical, chemical,
and biological components, which has a direct influence on the integrity of species and …

The effects of variability in environmental conditions on species composition in benthic
ecosystems are well established, but relatively little is known about how environmental …
