The marine environment with its vast biological diversity encompasses many organisms that
produce bioactive natural products. Marine microorganisms are rich sources of compounds …

Despite the relevance of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) for ocean
biogeochemistry, the microbial dimension of SGD remains poorly understood. SGD can …

Air‐water interfaces play an important role in unsaturated porous media, giving rise to
phenomena like capillarity. Less recognized and understood are interactions of colloids with …

Subterranean estuaries (STEs) modulate the chemical composition of continental
groundwater before it reaches the coast, but their microbial community is poorly known …

Subterranean estuaries the, subsurface mixing zones of terrestrial groundwater and
seawater, substantially influence solute fluxes to the oceans. Solutes brought by …

Laboratory microcosm experiments were conducted to determine the decay kinetics of
wastewater bacteria and the change of microbial communities in beach sand and seawater …

Mangrove forests are important biotic sinks of atmospheric CO2 and play an integral role in
nutrient-cycling and decontamination of coastal waters, thereby mitigating climatic and …

The intertidal region is one of the most dynamic environments in the biosphere, which
potentially supports vast biodiversity. Fungi have been found to play important roles in …

Coastal sands harbor diverse microbial assemblages that play a critical role in the
biogeochemical cycling of beach ecosystems. However, little is known about the relative …

Purpose The coastal tidal flat is one of the most dynamic environments in the biosphere and
provides an important habitat for marine organisms. Pollution by excessive nutrients and …
