As the rate of global change increases, the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems,
including the food webs that underpin them, will radically alter. Forecasting the …

Tidal wetlands, widely considered the most extensive reservoir of soil organic carbon (SOC),
can benefit from remote sensing studies enabling spatiotemporal estimation and map** of …

Predators are predominantly valued for their ability to control prey, as indicators of high
levels of biodiversity and as tourism attractions. This view, however, is incomplete because it …

Disturbance-mediated species loss has prompted research considering how ecosystem
functions are changed when biota is impaired. However, there is still limited empirical …

Aquatic ecologists use mesocosm experiments to understand mechanisms driving
ecological processes. Comparisons across experiments, and extrapolations to larger scales …

Quantifying carbon fluxes into and out of coastal soils is critical to meeting greenhouse gas
reduction and coastal resiliency goals. Numerous 'blue carbon'studies have generated, or …

Epibiotic microorganisms link seagrass productivity to higher trophic levels, but little is
known about the processes structuring these communities, and which taxa consistently …

Nutrient overenrichment in aquatic environments, or eutrophication, is increasingly affecting
seagrass habitats around the world, leading to the degradation of seagrass ecosystems and …

Eelgrass Zostera marina meadows provide valuable ecosystem services to coastal
communities. These shallow-water ecosystems in Eeyou Istchee (eastern James Bay …
