A global ocean oxygen database and atlas for assessing and predicting deoxygenation and ocean health in the open and coastal ocean
In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward the building of
an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO2DAT) complying with the …

Methane emissions offset atmospheric carbon dioxide uptake in coastal macroalgae, mixed vegetation and sediment ecosystems
Coastal ecosystems can efficiently remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and
are thus promoted for nature-based climate change mitigation. Natural methane (CH4) …

High spatiotemporal variability of methane concentrations challenges estimates of emissions across vegetated coastal ecosystems
Coastal methane (CH4) emissions dominate the global ocean CH4 budget and can offset
the “blue carbon” storage capacity of vegetated coastal ecosystems. However, current …

Estimating respiration rates and secondary production of macrobenthic communities across coastal habitats with contrasting structural biodiversity
A central goal of benthic ecology is to describe the pathways and quantities of energy and
material flow in seafloor communities over different spatial and temporal scales. We …
