Processing of organic matter in tidal estuaries modifies its transfer from the river to the sea.
We examined the distribution and the elemental and isotopic composition of organic matter …

Tidal marshes are vegetated coastal ecosystems that are often considered as hotspots of
atmospheric CO 2 sequestration. Although large amounts of organic carbon (OC) are indeed …

Mangrove epifaunal communities have access to various carbon and nitrogen sources and
we hypothesized that the degree of material exchange with the aquatic environment might …

At the interface between continent and ocean, estuaries receive particles, and especially
particulate organic matter (POM) originating from these two reservoirs, but also produce …

The distribution and sources of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PN) in 27
Indian estuaries were examined during the monsoon using the content and isotopic …

The natural isotopic compositions and C/N elemental ratios of sedimentary organic matter
were determined in the intertidal flat of the Yangtze Estuary. The results showed that the …

Minerals are the building blocks of clastic sediments and play an important role with respect
to the physico-chemical properties of the sediment and the lithostratigraphy of sediments …

Rivers are impacted by pollutants from anthropogenic activities such as urbanisation and
agricultural practices. Whilst point source pollution has been widely studied and in some …

Characterizing the patterns of stable carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) isotopes at the
base of the food webs (baseline) is essential in ecological studies for assessing the feeding …

The Scheldt estuary is characterised by a specific energy pattern resulting from the
interaction of wave energy, tidal energy and river energy. It divides the estuary into three …
