Photoautotrophic marine ecosystems can lock up organic carbon in their biomass and the
associated organic sediments they trap over millennia and are thus regarded as blue carbon …

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are known to be persistent and toxic, and can be
accumulated and trophic magnified in the environments. PFASs are widely distributed, and …

Abstract Knowledge about bioaccumulation and trophic transfer in food webs is of
tremendous importance in contaminant hazards evaluation. Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have widespread application in industrial and
civil areas due to their unique physical and chemical properties. With the increasingly …

Sedimentary organic matters in the typical intertidal areas were investigated to address year-
round monthly distributions and site-specific sources. Target areas included four natural tidal …

The macrobentic community in the Musi Estuary is very diverse. However, it has been
showing a declining trend recently due to an increase in waste from human activities …

Artificial reefs are frequently deployed in marine ecosystems to increase fishery yields and
enhance the production of reef-associated fauna. However, information regarding trophic …

Stable isotope analysis was used to investigate the food sources of benthic
macroinvertebrates in the arid mangrove of the Persian Gulf. Stable carbon (δ13C) and …

The man-made sea dike has disrupted the natural link between riverine and marine
ecosystems and caused eutrophication within the aquatic ecosystem. The eutrophic water …

A tidal saltmarsh supporting marine ecosystem services becomes more recognized, but an
understanding of its trophic dynamics is far limited. We investigated the benthic food-web …
