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 …

The dynamics of marine systems at decadal scales are notoriously hard to predict—hence
references to this timescale as the “grey zone” for ocean prediction. Nevertheless, decadal …

Benthic animals profoundly influence the cycling and storage of carbon and other elements
in marine systems, particularly in coastal sediments. Recent climate change has altered the …

Estuarine ecosystems have very high ecological and economic value, and also act as a
buffer for coastal oceans by processing nutrient inputs from terrestrial sources. However …

Benthic fluxes of oxygen and carbon in coastal zones are poorly resolved in mechanistic
models due to the lack of understanding of the diverse interactions among the physical …

Tidal flats are biogeomorphic landscapes, shaped by physical forces and interaction with
benthic biota. We used a metabolic approach to assess the overarching effect of bioturbators …

Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems characterised by biogenic three‐
dimensional structures formed by suspension feeders such as corals, gorgonians, sponges …

Even though the effects of benthic fauna on aquatic biogeochemistry have been long
recognized, few studies have addressed the combined effects of animal bioturbation and …

Harmful diatom (Coscinodiscus waillesi and Eucampia zodiacus) blooms frequently occur in
the western coastal area of Japan from late autumn to early spring, causing discoloration of …

Seagrass recovery has been reported across the globe where previously eutrophied waters
have become less nutrient‐rich. In the European Wadden Sea, different recovery trajectories …
