The conservation, restoration, and improved management of terrestrial forests significantly
contributes to mitigate climate change and its impacts, as well as providing numerous co …

In recent decades, the land-ocean aquatic continuum, commonly defined as the interface, or
transition zone, between terrestrial ecosystems and the open ocean, has undergone …

Carbon sequestration is defined as the secure storage of carbon‐containing molecules for>
100 years, and in the context of carbon dioxide removal for climate mitigation, the origin of …

In the present study, we examine contamination with PCBs, HCB and PAHs in the seawater
of Arctic fjords (Hornsund, Kongsfjorden and Adventfjorden) which differ in environmental …

Coastal sands are biocatalytic filters for dissolved and particulate organic matter of marine
and terrestrial origin, thus, acting as centers of organic matter transformation. At high …

Blue carbon ecosystems require conservation and restoration to maximize organic carbon
(CORG) sequestration to ameliorate greenhouse gas emissions. Salt marshes, mangrove …

The study aimed to determine the level of mercury (Hg) and its labile and stable forms in the
surface sediments of the Baltic Sea. The work considers the impact of current and historical …

Climate change is leading to increases in freshwater discharge to coastal environments with
implications for benthic community structure and functioning. Freshwater inputs create …

Fjords have been recently recognized as hot spots of organic carbon (Corg) sequestration in
marine sediments. This study aims to identify regional and local drivers of variability of Corg …

The knowledge on benthic trophic relations is particularly important for understanding the
functioning of still pristine and less studied Arctic Ocean ecosystems. This study examines …
