Almost the entire seafloor is covered with sediments that can be more than 10 000 m thick
and represent a vast microbial ecosystem that is a major component of Earth's element and …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

Seagrass meadows provide multiple ecosystem services, yet they are among the most
threatened ecosystems on earth. Because of their role as carbon sinks, protection and …

Microbial interactions are essential for all global geochemical cycles and have an important
role in human health and disease. Although we possess general knowledge about the major …

We aim at identifying how ecosystem functioning in shallow estuaries is affected by rapid
shifts in benthic fauna communities. We use the shallow estuary, Odense Fjord, Denmark, as …

Marine waters are often nitrogen (N) limited. Denitrification, the microbial conversion of
nitrate to dinitrogen (N 2) gas, is responsible for significant N removal from the coastal …

Despite the worldwide occurrence of marine hypoxic regions, benthic nitrogen (N) cycling
within these areas is poorly understood and it is generally assumed that these areas …

Brazil hosts an extensive coastal area, marked by a great diversity of geoenvironments. The
present study evaluated the role of geoclimatic factors in the geochemistry of mangrove soils …

Microbial mobilization and immobilization processes can affect the bioavailability and
mobility of metals thereby influencing their toxicity and can therefore be utilized to treat solid …

Crab burrowing activity impacts several important biogeochemical processes within
mangrove forests. Burrow morphology has been shown to be variable between brachyuran …
