The seabed plays a key role in the marine carbon cycle as a) the terminal location of aerobic
oxidation of organic matter, b) the greatest anaerobic bioreactor, and c) the greatest …

Aquatic eddy covariance (AEC) is increasingly being used to study benthic oxygen (O2) flux
dynamics, organic carbon cycling, and ecosystem health in marine and freshwater …

Due to large losses of seagrass meadows worldwide, restoration is proposed as a key
strategy for increasing coastal resilience and recovery. The emergence of a seagrass …

The expansion of transient and permanent coastal benthic anoxia is one of the most severe
problems for the coastal ocean globally. We report frequent, hidden hypoxia in the bottom 5 …

Seaweed farming is a growing industry worldwide, and its sustainable management
requires detailed knowledge about the environmental implications of detrital release. This …

The frequency of abnormally warm water events is increasing not only in surface waters, but
also in subsurface layers, with major impacts on benthic ecosystems. Previous insights on …

In shallow coastal systems, sediments are exposed to dramatic and complex variability in
environmental conditions that influences sediment processes on short timescales. Sediment …

To the best of our knowledge, the understanding of benthic metabolism of coastal
sedimentary areas is still limited due to the complexity of determining their true in situ …

Macrophytes form highly productive habitats that export a substantial proportion of their
primary production as particulate organic matter. As the detritus drifts with currents and …

Isoprene is an important biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC), with a contribution to
annual greenhouse gas emissions similar to that of methane in terms of carbon equivalent …
