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 …

In recent decades, the land-ocean aquatic continuum, commonly defined as the interface, or
transition zone, between terrestrial ecosystems and the open ocean, has undergone …

Mangroves and their global significance in climate change based on the storage of blue
carbon and release of CO 2, CH 4, and N 2 O have attracted great attention. Microbial …

Bottom-water oxygen supply is a key factor governing the biogeochemistry and community
composition of marine sediments. Whether it also determines carbon burial rates remains …

Organic carbon processing at the seafloor is studied by biogeochemists to quantify burial
and respiration, by organic geochemists to elucidate compositional changes and by …

Continental shelf sediments are recognized as long-term stores of globally significant
quantities of carbon (C) and potentially provide an important, yet largely overlooked climate …

The use of biodegradable plastics is constantly raising, increasing the likeliness for these
polymers to end up in the environment. Environmental applications foreseeing the …

Fjords have been recently recognized as hot spots of organic carbon (Corg) sequestration in
marine sediments. This study aims to identify regional and local drivers of variability of Corg …

Coastal soft‐sediment environments provide numerous benefits to all aspects of life and are
disproportionally impacted by anthropogenic influence. There is an acknowledgment that …

Estuaries are depositional environments prone to terrigenous mud sedimentation. While
macrofaunal diversity and nitrogen retention are greatly affected by changes in sedimentary …
