Mangrove organic carbon is primarily stored in soils, which contain more than two-thirds of
total mangrove ecosystem carbon stocks. Despite increasing recognition of the critical role of …

Fishing gear and techniques have evolved through the centuries, and particularly after the
Second World War, towards a mass production industry in such a scale that it has placed …

Environmental archives, such as sediments, banded corals and tree rings, are widely used
to reconstruct past environmental conditions of ecosystems. In particular, 210Pb has been …

As a contribution to the EC-OMEX-II program, sediment carbon and nitrogen budgets are
presented for the Iberian Margin (northeastern Atlantic). The budgets for degradable organic …

To investigate the processes by which sediment is supplied to the head of a submarine
canyon, an instrumented tripod and a mooring were deployed in the northern thalweg of the …

Mangrove environments have been well recognized as marine litter traps. However, it is
unclear whether mangrove sediments sink microplastics more effectively than other marine …

Three sediment cores were sampled at Sepetiba Bay and four cores at Ribeira Bay, Rio de
Janeiro State, Brazil. Sediment accumulation rates and chronologies were obtained from …

The offshore displacement of commercial bottom trawling has raised concerns about the
impact of this destructive fishing practice on the deep seafloor, which is in general …

Hadal trenches are considered to act as depocenters for organic material, although
pathways for the material transport and deposition rates are poorly constrained. Here we …

A total of 83 cores were collected in the Gulf of Lions continental margins and analysed for
210Pbxs (excess 210Pb) in order to understand sedimentation patterns. Apparent …
