This review examines the current understanding of the global coastal ocean carbon cycle
and provides a new quantitative synthesis of air-sea CO2 exchange. This reanalysis yields …

Abstract Models test our understanding of processes and can reach beyond the spatial and
temporal scales of measurements. Multi-component Reactive Transport Models (RTMs) …

Coastal ecosystems release or absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous
oxide (N2O), but the net effects of these ecosystems on the radiative balance remain …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems sequester carbon rapidly relative to terrestrial ecosystems.
Coastal wetlands are poorly represented in land surface models, but work is underway to …

Much is still unknown about the transport behavior of microplastic pollutants within the
marine environment, particularly smaller scale coastal systems such as estuaries. Through …

One-third of all elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are threatened with extinction. Euryhaline
and estuarine generalist elasmobranchs are a group of 29 species that occupy non-marine …

Aquatic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by multiple human-induced stressors
associated with climate and anthropogenic changes, including warming, nutrient pollution …

Globally, nutrient loading to surface waters is large and increasing, with sources from land-
based pollution to aquaculture and atmospheric deposition. Spatial differences in amounts …

A comprehensive carbon budget was constructed to quantify carbon flows through the
freshwater‐marine continuum of a temperate, microtidal estuary. We performed coordinated …

Recent research has shown that inland water—including rivers, lakes, and groundwater—
may play some role in carbon cycling, although the extent of its contribution has remained …
