Although mangrove forests occupy only 0.5% of the global coastal area, they account for 10?15% of coastal organic carbon (OC) storage, and 49?98% of OC is stored in sediments. The biogeochemistry of iron minerals and OC in marine sediments is closely rel...

Demosponges of the genus Halichondria Fleming (1828) are common in coastal marine ecosystems worldwide and have been well-studied over the last decades. As ecologically important filter feeders, Halichondria species represent potentially suitable model o...

Filter-feeding sponges pump large amounts of water and contribute significantly to grazing impact, matter transport and nutrient cycling in many marine benthic communities. For ecological studies it is therefore of interest to be able to estimate the pum...

Coral reef community composition, function, and resilience have been altered by natural and anthropogenic stressors. Future anthropogenic ocean and coastal acidification (together termed ?acidification?) may exacerbate this reef degradation. Accurately p...

Cahong in Ha Long Bay (Vietnam) is a small lake with a reduced, invisible connection with the open sea. The water column conditions locally experience notable fluctuations across the year, mostly driven by biannual monsoon seasons. Salinity, temperature,...
