Mangroves and salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the global
coastal ocean. Mangroves store more carbon (739 Mg CORG ha− 1) than salt marshes (334 …

Coastal seagrass, mangrove and salt-marsh ecosystems—also termed blue-carbon
ecosystems—play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Much of the organic carbon …

Salinization, a widespread threat to the structure and ecological functioning of inland and
coastal wetlands, is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate and geographic scale. The …

Life evolved and flourished in the absence of molecular oxygen (02). As the 02 content of
the atmosphere rose to the present level of 21% beginning about two billion years ago …

The benthic fauna in mangrove forests is usually dominated by burrowing sesarmid
(Grapsidae) and fiddler crabs (Ocypodidae). They are herbivores that retain, bury, macerate …

Coastal wetlands host large and dynamic reservoirs of organic carbon (C) and are also
biogeochemical hotspots for a wide range of Fe (hydr-) oxides with different chemical …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled with nitrite reduction is an important microbial
pathway of nitrogen removal in intertidal wetlands. However, little is known about the role of …

To identify relationships between freshwater input and marsh soil properties, measurements
of bulk density, nutrients (carbon [C], nitrogen [N], phosphorus [P]), accretion, and …

In exploring the dynamics of iron and nitrogen cycling in sediments from riparian forests we
have observed a redox reaction that has not been previously described. During incubations …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to iron (III) reduction (termed Feammox) is a
recently discovered pathway of nitrogen cycling. However, little is known about the pathways …
