Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a global and well-studied geological process by
which groundwater of varying salinities enters coastal waters. SGD is known to transport …

Anthropogenic activities in urban, agrarian, or industrial areas are the main cause of heavy
metals in sediments worldwide. Since the 1960s, there have been submarine discharges …

The contribution of non-indigenous species to the transfer of contaminants in invaded food
webs represents an active research area. Here we measured trace metals and CN stable …

Silicon (Si) is a pivotal element in the biogeochemical and ecological functioning of the
ocean. The marine Si cycle is thought to be in internal equilibrium, but the recent discovery …

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) can influence biogeochemical cycles in coastal
seas by delivering nutrients from the seafloor. Comparison between the nearshore and …

Coastal pollution levels in Todos Santos Bay (TSB) recreational beaches have increased in
recent years due to the uncontrolled disposal of wastewater and pollutants to the coast by …

Biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems in the South Java upwelling area respond to
physical conditions, the diurnal cycle, intraseasonal variability, and climate variations. Whilst …

Surface sediment samples were collected from Daya Bay in October 2018, and analyzed for
total organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN) and their stable isotopes (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) …

The central function of frustules—transparent glass shells surrounding the diatoms—is still
enigmatic. This chapter summarizes some of the most common hypotheses related to …

The present work aims to characterize Ria Formosa water quality considering its spatial, and
temporal variability at two scales: short-term (among seasons) and long-term to evaluate its …
