Benthic organisms and their bioturbation activities have a profound effect on a multitude of
sediment properties. While many studies have already explored benthic impacts at small …

The transporting of oil via the Arabian Gulf for centuries has resulted in the pollution of the
coasts by heavy metals, and therefore, remediation actions are needed. In this review, we …

Ocean warming and short-term extreme events (eg marine heatwaves) are becoming more
intense and frequent and have had major impacts on ecosystems. Seaweeds are …

Heatwave frequency and intensity will increase as climate change progresses. Intertidal
sessile invertebrates, which often form thermally benign microhabitats for associated …

El Niños and marine heatwaves (MHWs) are predicted to increase in frequency under
greenhouse warming. The impact of climate oscillations like El Niño‐Southern Oscillation on …

Marine hard-bottom communities are undergoing severe change under the influence of
multiple drivers, notably climate change, extraction of natural resources, pollution and …

Current latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) meta‐analyses have failed to distinguish one of
the most widespread marine habitats, the intertidal zone, as a separate system despite it …

Similar to other coastal regions worldwide, forests created by brown macroalgae have
severely declined in recent decades across the Macaronesian oceanic archipelagos …

Fucalean algae are dominant canopy-forming species that create extensive and highly
productive ecosystems in the intertidal and subtidal rocky shores of temperate seas …

Tropical shallow-water habitats represent the marine environments with the greatest
biodiversity; however, these habitats are the most vulnerable to climate warming. Corals …
