Microfibers often dominate sediment microplastic samples, but little is known about their
ecological effects on benthic organisms and functions. Polyethylene terephthalate)(PET) …

The sediments in mangrove forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle due to
high inputs of organic matter (OM) and low decomposition rates, making them highly efficient …

This study addressed the occurrence and distribution of benthic microalgae, with emphasis
on toxic species, on different substrates (macroalgae, seagrass and sediments) along the …

Estuarine sediments are important sites for the interception, processing, and retention of
organic matter, prior to its export to the coastal oceans. Stimulated microbial co-metabolism …

Polychaete worms are rich sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and are
increasingly incorporated into aquaculture broodstock diets. Conventionally, the build-up of …

Rationale Many laboratories employ elemental analyzers (EAs) coupled to isotope ratio
mass spectrometers (IRMSs) to measure carbon stable isotope ratios (δ13C) in solid …

Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) can provide unique insights into the cycling of
elements including carbon and nitrogen. One approach for CSIA is the use of high …

Relative to their surface area, estuaries make a disproportionately large contribution of
dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the global carbon cycle, but it is unknown how this will …

Sediment microbial communities are an important sink for both organic and inorganic
nitrogen (N), with microphytobenthos (MPB) biomass having the largest contribution to short …

This study uses dual‐labeled (13C and 15N) stable isotope applications to examine
microbial uptake and short‐term processing of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) from organic and …
