Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Microbial cells (ie, bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes) in oceans secrete a diverse array of
large molecules, collectively called extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) or simply …

This manuscript reviews the progresses made in the understanding of the dynamic
interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes, including the dissipation of extreme …

Microbial ecology is the study of interactions among microbes in natural environments and
their roles in biogeochemical cycles, food web dynamics, and the evolution of life. Microbes …

Fine sediment represents an important part of the solid flux of rivers. Due to the size of these
particles, they are often transported as suspended load. They gradually fill the pores of the …

Sediment fluxes in aquatic environments are crucially dependent on bedform dynamics.
However, sediment-flux predictions rely almost completely on clean-sand studies, despite …

Bacteria in porous media, such as soils, aquifers, and filters, often form surface-attached
communities known as biofilms. Biofilms are affected by fluid flow through the porous …

In addition to their being vital components of mid-to high-latitude coastal ecosystems, salt
marshes contain 0.1% of global sequestered terrestrial carbon. Their sustainability is now …

The geometry of alluvial river channels both controls and adjusts to the flow of water and
sediment within them. This feedback between flow and form modulates flood risk, and the …

Accelerating sea‐level rise and decreasing riverine sediment supply are widely considered
to lead to global losses of deltaic marshes and their valuable ecosystem services. However …
