Sedimentary processes in a microbial flat, developed in a progradational environment and
trampled by vertebrates, were monitored under varying energy conditions. A vertebrate …

Intermittently open and closed lakes and lagoons (ICOLLs) are globally important estuarine
systems that are separated from the ocean by a sand beach barrier or berm. The barrier may …

This study addresses the limited understanding of chromium-microbial mat interactions in
estuarine tidal flats. The aims were to evaluate (1) the efficiency of the microbial consortium …

Abstract The Salitral de La Vidriera (SDV; 38° 44′ S, 62° 34′ W) once occupied the
innermost section of a funnel-shaped estuary before its isolation due to sea level drop∼ …

Microbial mats in siliciclastic coastal environments are considered as non-lithifying systems
that lack the potential for calcification. This work documents precipitation and preservation of …

Environmental contamination by chromium represents a serious public health problem.
Therefore, it is crucial to develop and optimize remediation technologies to reduce its …

Sandy, microbial-mat-laminated sediments are common in estuarine and tidal environments
of the Palaeoarchean Moodies Group (ca. 3.22 Ga); they are interspersed with numerous …

The presence of microorganisms gives remarkable plasticity and flexibility to wet sediments.
Under these circumstances, a coherent microbial mat is developed, which is loosely …

The relationship between microbes and marine sediments probably dates back to the very
origin of life on Earth. This intimate association is exemplified by how the physical and …

La contaminación por metales en los sistemas acuáticos representa un riesgo inminente
para todos los organismos vivos. Por ello, el desarrollo de tecnologías de remediación …
