In this article, we describe the use of diagnostic timescales as simple tools for illuminating
how aquatic ecosystems work, with a focus on coastal systems such as estuaries, lagoons …

The objective of the present study was to test whether the Atlantic ghost crab Ocypode
quadrata is a reliable biomonitor of microplastic (MP) pollution of beach sediments. To test …

Barium (Ba) isotope variations offer the potential to trace environmental processes, including
long-term changes in river discharge and marine export production. Riverine inputs are an …

Abstract Mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) stable isotope were assessed in
a tropical food web of Rio de Janeiro's north coast. Isotopic data on muscle suggest a …

Rivers annually carry 25–28 Tg carbon in the form of pyrogenic dissolved organic matter
(dissolved black carbon, DBC) into the ocean, which is equivalent to about 10% of the entire …

Geothermal waters originating from three aquifers in northwestern Romania have been
analyzed for several physico-chemical parameters namely, pH, temperature, electrical …

The Paraíba do Sul watershed is an important hydrological resource for southeastern Brazil,
that has undergone extensive land use changes related to industrial, agricultural and urban …

We used radium isotopes as tracers to characterize coastal hydrodynamics and submarine
groundwater discharge (SGD) in the Yellow River Estuary in order to assess the ecological …

Previous work has documented large fluxes of freshwater and nutrients from submarine
groundwater discharge (SGD) into the coastal waters of a few volcanic oceanic islands …

The present study raised the hypothesis that the trophic status in a tropical coastal food web
from southeastern Brazil can be measured by the relation between total mercury (THg) and …
