Coastal zones are among the world's most productive ecosystems. They store vast amounts
of organic carbon, as 'blue carbon'reservoirs, and impact global climate change. Archaeal …

Mangroves are forest ecosystems located at the interface between land and sea where
sediments presented a variety of contrasted environmental conditions (ie oxic/anoxic, non …

Intertidal systems are complex and dynamic environments with many interacting factors
influencing biochemical characteristics and microbial communities. One key factor are the …

Microbial communities in surface waters are affected by environmental conditions and can
influence changes in water quality. To explore the hypothesis that the microbiome in …

Bioindicators assess the mangroves ecological state according to the types of pressures but
they differ with the ecosystem's specificities. We investigated benthic meiofauna diversity …

Coastal environments are receiving habitats for most nanoparticle (NP) waste. Coastal
sediments, into which NPs accumulate, support microalgal biofilms that provide important …

The phylogenetic assignment of archaeal communities is constantly evolving, and the recent
discovery of new phyla that grouped into superphyla has provided novel insights into …

The rivers of Guadeloupe and Martinique (French West Indies) show high levels of
chlordecone (CLD) contamination. This persistent molecule has a dramatic impact on both …

In order to better understand the sediment microbial community composition in the
Levantine basin affected by anthropogenic activity, we focus on the effect cage fish farming …

Authigenic carbonates are common early-diagenetic features of sedimentary rocks and have
been linked directly to the global carbon, sulphur, and iron cycles. However, physical …
