A good understanding of the mechanisms and magnitude of the impact of invasive alien
species on ecosystem services and biodiversity is a prerequisite for the efficient prioritisation …

Exotic species affect the biogeochemical pools and fluxes of materials and energy, thereby
altering the fundamental structure and function of their ecosystems. Rapidly accumulating …

Exotic species are a growing global ecological threat; however, their overall effects are
insufficiently understood. While some exotic species are implicated in many species …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) significantly contributes to nitrogen loss in
freshwater ecosystems. The sediment-water interface (SWI), known as a “hot spot” for …

Invasive species and bottom‐water hypoxia both constitute major global threats to the
diversity and integrity of marine ecosystems. These stressors may interact with unexpected …

Invertebrate animals that live at the bottom of aquatic ecosystems (ie, benthic macrofauna)
are important mediators between nutrients in the water column and microbes in the benthos …

Making up over 92% of life in our oceans, marine invertebrates inhabit every zone in the
water column, with contributions ranging from ecosystem functioning to socioeconomic …

Coastal ecosystems are important because of the vital ecosystem functions and services
they provide, but many are threatened by eutrophication and hypoxia. This results in loss of …

Invasion of non-indigenous species (NIS) is acknowledged as one of the most important
external drivers affecting structure and functions of marine ecosystems globally. This paper …

This paper presents an overall bioinvasion impact assessment on the scale of a large
marine region—the Baltic Sea, as defined by the Helsinki Commission. The methodology is …
