Quantifying the rates of biogeochemical processes in marine sediments is essential for
understanding global element cycles and climate change. Because organic matter …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Kongsfjorden is a glacial fjord in the Arctic (Svalbard) that is influenced by both Atlantic and
Arctic water masses and harbours a mixture of boreal and Arctic flora and fauna. Inputs from …

Exploring the role of enzymes in biogeochemical processes, this reference explores the
function, molecular biology, and biochemistry of microorganisms and their intra-and extra …

ABSTRACT A 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) clone library from permanently cold marine
sediments was established. Screening 353 clones by dot blot hybridization with group …

Seagrass ecosystems are important natural carbon sinks but their efficiency varies greatly
depending on species composition and environmental conditions. What causes this …

Carbon transport within sinking biogenic matter in the ocean contributes to the uptake of
CO2 from the atmosphere. Here we assess the extent to which particulate organic carbon …

Summary 1 Marine herbivorous fishes are considered to be of critical importance in
determining the biological structure of shallow reef environments, and by implication have …

This book offers an up-to-date overview of the latest scientific findings in regional climate
research on the Baltic Sea basin. This includes climate changes in the recent past, climate …

We present a one-dimensional reactive transport model to estimate benthic fluxes of
dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and alkalinity (AT) from coastal marine sediments. The …
