Coastal wetlands are dynamic ecosystems that exist at the interface between land and sea.
They represent environments with a great diversity of habitats and communities, high carbon …

Past model studies have projected a global decrease in marine net primary production
(NPP) over the 21st century, but these studies focused on the multi-model mean rather than …

Microbial community metabolic balance (ie, the ratio between photosynthesis and
community respiration) is critical for assessing the strength of the biological carbon pump …

Field observations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in shelf seas presented abnormal
phenomena such as high-concentration patches in offshore areas and different vertical …

Increased anthropogenic pressures on coastal marine ecosystems in the last century are
threatening their biodiversity and functioning. Global warming and increases in nutrient …

Ocean oligotrophication concurrent with warming weakens the capacity of marine primary
producers to support marine food webs and act as a CO2 sink, and is believed to result from …

There is ongoing debate as to whether the oligotrophic ocean is predominantly net
autotrophic and acts as a CO 2 sink, or net heterotrophic and therefore acts as a CO 2 …

The Mediterranean Sea is a vulnerable region for climate change, warming at higher rates
compare to the global ocean. Warming leads to increased stratification of the water column …

Gorringe bank is a shallow seamount having its summit within the euphotic layer. The
purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the interaction of ocean currents with …

Increased oligotrophication is expected for oligotrophic areas as a consequence of ocean
warming, which reduces diffusive vertical nutrient supply due to strengthened stratification …
