Sediment dwelling, microscopic primary producers, that occupy sediments in the photic
zone, are commonly referred to as microphytobenthos (MPB). The MPB are essential …

Tropical coastal waters are highly dynamic and amongst the most biogeochemical active
zones in the ocean. This review compares nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles in …

Cyanobacteria of the genus Oscillatoria (Trichodesmium) account for annual inputs of
nitrogen to the world's oceans of about 4.8× 1012 grams while benthic environments …

We first review dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations and isotopic composition
(carbon only) in sediment pore waters at both the bulk level and at the compound and …

Coastal zones act as a sink for riverine and atmospheric nitrogen inputs and thereby buffer
the open ocean from the effects of anthropogenic activity. Recently, microbial activity in …

Microfibers often dominate sediment microplastic samples, but little is known about their
ecological effects on benthic organisms and functions. Polyethylene terephthalate)(PET) …

Protists (microbial eukaryotes) are a critically important but understudied group of
microorganisms. They are ubiquitous, represent most of the genetic and functional diversity …

Bioretention basins are one of the most commonly used green stormwater features, with the
potential to accumulate significant levels of nitrogen (N) in their soil and to permanently …

Using a natural capital framework to inform improvements to water quality and mitigation of
climate change requires robust and spatially explicit ecosystem service data. Yet, for coastal …

We determined patterns of benthic metabolism and examined the relative importance of
denitrification (DNF) and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) as sinks for …
