The current database on benthic microalgal production in Arctic waters comprises 10 peer-
reviewed and three unpublished studies. Here, we compile and discuss these datasets …

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 …

As an important nutrient source for coastal waters, submarine groundwater discharge (SGD)
has long been largely ignored in Daya Bay, China. In this study, we estimate the fluxes of …

The high degree of physical factors in intertidal estuarine ecosystem increases material
processing between benthic and pelagic compartments. In these ecosystems …

Detritus can fundamentally shape and sustain food webs, and shredders can facilitate its
availability. Most of the biomass of the highly productive giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera …

We report an assessment for determining the contribution by diatoms to community
productivity and respiration within a coastal benthic ecosystem with multiple autotrophs …

Spatial variations in carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) of benthic filter
feeders were investigated on an inshore-offshore gradient (0–250km) along the continental …

The Aquatic Eddy Covariance (AEC) technique has emerged as an important method to
quantify in situ seafloor metabolism over large areas of heterogeneous benthic communities …

During summer 2007, Arctic microphytobenthic potential primary production was measured
at several stations around the coastline of Kongsfjorden (Svalbard, Norway) at≤ 5 m water …

Distributions of microphytobenthos are highly heterogeneous at scales as small as a few
centimetres. However, the sampling protocols currently used for the absolute determination …
