Nitrogen (N) is a key element for life in the oceans. It controls primary productivity in many
parts of the global ocean, consequently playing a crucial role in the uptake of atmospheric …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the primary nutrients required to build biomass and is therefore in high
demand in aquatic ecosystems. Estuaries, however, are frequently inundated with high …

The abundant and diverse microorganisms that inhabit aquatic systems are both
determinants and indicators of aquatic health, providing essential ecosystem services such …

N2 flux rates (net denitrification) were measured over a diel cycle, seasonally, in 12 benthic
habitats across three warm temperate Australian coastal systems. Dark N2‐N fluxes were …

Objectives The marine benthic nitrogen cycle is affected by both the presence and activity of
macrofauna and the diversity of N-cycling microbes. However, integrated research …

Denitrifying bacteria play a critical role in the estuarine nitrogen cycle. Through the
transformation of nitrate into nitrogen gas, these organisms contribute to the loss of …

Aims To investigate the distribution of complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox) and
canonical ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in tidal flat sediments of the Yangtze River …

Tidal wetland plants can maintain high primary productivity under salinization, even with low
phosphorus (P) availability. However, little is known about how they adapt to salinization …

Estuaries are amongst the most productive marine ecosystems of the world but are also
some of the most degraded due to coastal urban development. Sparse sampling of complex …

Seagrass beds support diverse macrofaunal communities, and collectively they influence
carbon and nutrient cycles; however, we know little on how seagrass disturbance alters this …
