Estuarine and coastal marine sediment-water fluxes are considered to be important
ecological features, but a global-scale assessment has yet to be developed. Goals of this …

Microbial cells buried in subseafloor sediments comprise a substantial portion of Earth's
biosphere and control global biogeochemical cycles; however, the rate at which they use …

Hypoxia in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) during summer is one of the problems caused by
increasing anthropogenic pollutant inputs due to population increase and economic …

In situ incubations of sediment with overlying water provide valuable and consistent
information about benthic fluxes and processes at the sediment-water interface. In this …

Microbial-driven organic matter (OM) degradation is a cornerstone of benthic community
functioning, but little is known about the relation between OM and community composition …

It has been previously proposed that alkalinity release from sediments can play an important
role in the carbonate dynamics on continental shelves, lowering the p CO 2 of seawater and …

Organic matter (OM) degradation in marine sediments is fundamental to understanding and
constraining global biogeochemical cycling, whereby OM reactivity is at its core. Here, we …

The Rhône River is the largest source of terrestrial organic and inorganic carbon for the
Mediterranean Sea. A large fraction of this terrestrial carbon is either buried or mineralized …

Estuarine regions are generally considered a major source of atmospheric CO 2, as a result
of the high organic carbon (OC) mineralization rates in their water column and sediments …

Measurements of diffusive (DOU) and total (TOU) sediment oxygen uptakes, oxygen
penetration depth, porosity, OC, TN, carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, chlorophyll a and …
