Predators continue to be harvested unsustainably throughout most of the Earth's
ecosystems. Recent research demonstrates that the functional loss of predators could have …

Globally, soils and sediments are affected by the bioturbation activities of benthic species.
The consequences of these activities are particularly impactful in intertidal sediment, which …

Deforestation results in habitat fragmentation, decreasing diversity, and functional
degradation. For mangroves, no data are available on the impact of deforestation on the …

Saltmarshes are important global carbon (C) sinks, but the considerable uncertainty in the C
budget and the underlying mechanisms limit the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions …

Tidal marshes are valuable global carbon sinks, yet large uncertainties in coastal marsh
carbon budgets and mediating mechanisms limit our ability to estimate fluxes and predict …

Ecosystem functions are regulated by compositional and functional traits of bacterial
communities, shaped by stochastic and deterministic processes. Biogeographical studies …

Mangroves are carbon-rich ecosystems that store large quantities of carbon, mostly in soils.
Early carbon (C) budgets indicated that> 50% of mangrove C fixation was unaccounted for …

Mangrove ecosystems are pivotal in blue carbon capture, yet they can also release varying
levels of methane (CH 4). Fiddler crabs are known players in carbon (C) cycling within …

Crab burrowing activity impacts several important biogeochemical processes within
mangrove forests. Burrow morphology has been shown to be variable between brachyuran …

This chapter uses a literature review to advance our understanding of the biogeochemical
functioning of mangrove wetlands and to elucidate biogeographic differences. We identify …
