This review provides an integrated synthesis with timelines and evaluations of ecological
responses to eutrophication in Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the USA. Analyses of …

Seagrasses cover about 0.1–0.2% of the global ocean, and develop highly productive
ecosystems which fulfil a key role in the coastal ecosystem. Widespread seagrass loss …

Human population density within 100 km of the sea is approximately three times higher than
the global average. People in this zone are concentrated in coastal cities that are hubs for …

Seagrasses occur in coastal zones throughout the world in the areas of marine habitats that
are most heavily influenced by humans. Despite a growing awareness of the importance of …

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 …

Eutrophication is one of the most severe and widespread forms of disturbance affecting
coastal marine systems. Whilst there are general models of effects on benthos, such as the …

Nutrient loading to coastal bay ecosystems is of a similar magnitude as that to deeper, river-
fed estuaries, yet our understanding of the eutrophication process in these shallow systems …

I examine, through an extensive compilation of published reports, the nature and variability
of carbon flow (ie, primary production, herbivory, detrital production, decomposition, export …

Fishing affects the seabed habitat worldwide on the continental shelf. These impacts are
patchily distributed according to the spatial and temporal variation in fishing effort that results …

Articles ductivity and heterotrophic bacterial productivity rather than biomass because we
were interested in energy flow in lake food webs. However, we found measurements of …
