The nitrogen (N) cycle is one of the most important nutrient cycles in river systems, and it
plays an important role in maintaining biogeochemical balance and global climate stability …

Sedimentary habitats cover most of the ocean bottom and therefore constitute the largest
single ecosystem on Earth in spatial coverage. The benthic ecosystem contributes to human …

Benthic–pelagic coupling is manifested as the exchange of energy, mass, or nutrients
between benthic and pelagic habitats. It plays a prominent role in aquatic ecosystems, and it …

Our planet is changing, and one of the most pressing challenges facing the scientific
community revolves around understanding how ecological communities respond to global …

Nematodes are among the most abundant organisms on Earth, and have important roles in
terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Free-living marine nematodes have been …

Location, specific topography, and hydrographic setting together with climate change and
