Coastal lagoons can act as sinks and sources of a wide range of substances, including
nutrients, and pollutants. In these ecosystems, primary production is limited more by nitrogen …

Soil microbes drive biogeochemical cycles of carbon (C) and nutrients, and land conversion
alters soil microbes and thus, affects C and nutrient cycling at the ecosystem level. To …

Mediterranean coastal lagoons are influenced from a wide variety of external factors such as
surface and groundwater flows and climate dynamics. They are also vulnerable to human …

Ensuring agricultural security and preserving the health of wetland ecosystems are crucial
concerns facing northeast China. However, the adverse effects of environmental pollution …

High loads of nutrients like phosphorus (P) persistently degrade water quality in floodplain
waterbodies and cause eutrophication, ie, elevated algae production. Despite continuous …

Abstract Knowledge of microbial functioning linked to dissolved organic matter (DOM) in
hypersaline lakes is limited. This study aimed to understand this relationship in surface and …

Rapid economic development and rampant urbanization are accelerating the eutrophication
of coastal environments. This is the case of the bay of M'Badon in Côte d'Ivoire, located in an …

Strong rainfalls and river floods are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in southern
Europe. Mediterranean coastal lagoons, due to their hydrological characteristics, could …

Arsenic (As) is a soil contaminant with important interactions with the soil microbial
community. Upon contamination, soil microbes can display metabolic changes, which can …

Coastal lagoon ecosystems are vital and dynamic habitats, yet their microbial community
structures remain poorly understood. This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of …
