Coastal wetlands host large and dynamic reservoirs of organic carbon (C) and are also
biogeochemical hotspots for a wide range of Fe (hydr-) oxides with different chemical …

In November 2015, the largest socio-environmental disaster in the history of Brazil occurred
when approximately 50 million m 3 of mine tailings were released into the Doce River (SE …

High mangrove productivity is sustained by rapid utilization, high retention efficiency and
maximum storage of nutrients in leaves, roots, and soils. Rapid microbial transformations …

The availability of phosphorus (P) in estuarine ecosystems is ultimately controlled by the
nature of interactions between dissolved P and the soil components (eg, soil minerals) …

In intertidal systems, the type and role of interactions among sediment microorganisms,
animals, plants and abiotic factors are complex and not well understood. Such interactions …

Brazil hosts an extensive coastal area, marked by a great diversity of geoenvironments. The
present study evaluated the role of geoclimatic factors in the geochemistry of mangrove soils …

In this study, we analyzed biomarkers and heavy metals in Ucides cordatus specimens
caught in mangrove areas [A1= reference (low impact area); A2, A3 and A4= port complex …

In the present study, we evaluated CO 2, CH 4, and N 2 O fluxes in mangrove soils that
receive shrimp farming effluents. Soil and gas samples were collected from a mangrove that …

Metal sulfides serve as the sinks of toxic heavy metals in anoxic sediments. Once exposed to
fluctuations in environmental conditions, dissolution of metal sulfides can occur and release …

Heavy metal-contaminated wastes can threaten mangrove forests, one of the most
biodiverse ecosystems in the world. The study evaluated the geospatial distribution of heavy …
