Microorganisms control key biogeochemical pathways, thus changes in microbial diversity,
community structure and activity can affect ecosystem response to environmental drivers …

Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only
global‐scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions …

Hypoxia in coastal waters is a pressing ecological problem caused by continued
eutrophication and climatic change that has widespread consequences for metazoan life …

Seasonal responses in estuarine metabolism (primary production, respiration, and net
metabolism) were examined using two complementary approaches. Total ecosystem …

Mediterranean coastal lagoons are influenced from a wide variety of external factors such as
surface and groundwater flows and climate dynamics. They are also vulnerable to human …

Diel variations in oxygen concentration have been extensively used to estimate rates of
photosynthesis and respiration in productive freshwater and marine ecosystems. Recent …

Particle cycling rates in marine systems are difficult to measure directly, but of great interest
in understanding how carbon and other elements are distributed throughout the ocean …

Aquatic metabolism is an important descriptor of ecosystem functioning. The metabolism of
ponds and confined coastal lagoons has been poorly studied in comparison to other aquatic …

In aquatic systems, time series of dissolved oxygen (DO) have been used to compute
estimates of ecosystem metabolism. Central to this open‐water method is the assumption …

Ecosystem metabolism is a key ecological attribute and easy to describe, but quantifying
metabolism in estuaries is challenging. Properly scaling measurements through time and …
