Application of biochar for soil development has been increasingly practiced over the last
decade. However, during the pyrolytic production of biochar, polycyclic aromatic …

The proximity of coral reefs to coastal urban areas and shipping lanes predisposes corals to
petroleum pollution from multiple sources. Previous research has evaluated petroleum …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

Reduced water quality degrades coral reefs, resulting in compromised ecosystem function
and services to coastal communities. Increasing management capacity on reefs requires …

Laboratory preparation of aqueous test media is a critical step in developing toxicity
information needed for oil spill response decision-making. Multiple methods have been …

Scleractinian coral are experiencing global and regional stressors. Microplastics (< 5 mm)
are an additional stressor that may cause adverse effects on coral. Experiments were …

This study investigated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content in corals (Acropora
sp.), surficial sediments, and surface seawater, and heavy metals (HMs) contents in corals …

Oil spills of varying magnitude occur every year, each presenting a unique challenge to the
local ecosystem. The complex, changeable nature of oil makes standardised risk …

The impact of petroleum exploitation and oil spills in marine ecosystems has increased over
time. Among the concerns regarding these events, the impact on coral reefs stand out …

Coral reefs are keystone coastal ecosystems that can be exposed to petroleum
hydrocarbons from multiple sources, and when selecting spill response methods to limit …
