Global seaweed carbon sequestration estimates are currently taken as the fraction of the net
primary production (NPP) exported to the deep ocean. However, this perspective does not …

The frequent invasion of organisms poses a serious threat to biodiversity, ecosystem service
functions, and economic development. Invasions from terrestrial systems have been well …

Recently, Gallagher et al. suggested that seaweed ecosystems are net heterotrophic carbon
sources due to CO2 released from the consumption of external subsidies. Here we outline …

Seagrass beds act as blue carbon sinks globally as they enhance the trapping of recalcitrant
(ie, low biodegradability) organic carbon in their sediments. Recent studies also show that …

We report estimates of community gross primary production (GPP), community respiration
(CR), and net community production (NCP) based on the change of dissolved O 2 during …

Seagrasses harbour different and rich epiphytic bacterial communities. These microbes may
establish intimate and symbiotic relationships with the seagrass plants and change …

Warming as well as species introductions have increased over the past centuries, however a
link between cause and effect of these two phenomena is still unclear. Here we use …

Along the US east coast, the widespread non-native red alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla
provides habitat for an array of macroinvertebrates, including the eastern mudsnail …

Mixotrophs combine both autotrophic and heterotrophic cell structures, and their highly
plastic nutritional modes can shape the structure of food web and affect the carbon sink …

The increasing rates of CO 2 due to anthropogenic activities are causing important potential
climate threats for the Mediterranean Sea: ocean acidification and warming. In this region …
