Stygofaunal diversity and ecological sustainability of coastal groundwater ecosystems in a changing climate: The Australian paradigm
Coastal aquifers are vital water sources for humanity. Their quality and the ecosystem
services they provide depend on the integrity of their subterranean biota. However, current …
