Nitrogen (N) cycling in mangroves is complex, with rapid turnover of low dissolved N
concentrations, but slow turnover of particulate N. Most N is stored in soils. The largest …

More than two-thirds of global biomass consists of vascular plants. A portion of the detritus
they generate is carried into the oceans from land and highly productive blue carbon …

The flow of detritus between habitats is an important form of connectivity that affects regional
productivity and the spatial organization of marine ecosystems. Kelps form highly productive …

In northern Peru, the mangrove crab Ucides occidentalis is of great importance due to its
ecological, economic, and social role. In this study, we reported for the first time the …

Brachyuran crabs are ecologically and economically important macrofauna in mangrove
habitats. However, they are exposed to various contaminants, including plastics, which …

Soil properties and soil–atmosphere fluxes of CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O from four coastal
wetlands were studied throughout the year, namely, native Kandelia obovata mangrove …

Mangrove ecosystems, where litter and organic components are degraded and converted
into detrital materials, support rich coastal fisheries resources. Sesarmid (Grapsidae) crabs …

Understanding the diagenetic processes of organic matter (OM) within mangrove forests is
essential to grasp ecosystem dynamics and exchanges with adjacent ecosystems. This …

Dual stable isotope signatures (δ13C and δ15N) were applied to determine the contribution
of mangrove materials and other organic carbon sources to the invertebrate community in an …

Sesarmid crabs play an important role in mangrove biogeochemical processes due to their
leaf-eating and burrowing activities. How leaf-eating mangrove crabs meet their nitrogen (N) …
