Eutrophication is a process that can be defined as an increase in the rate of supply of
organic matter (OM) to an ecosystem. We provide a general overview of the major features …

The role of positive interactions in structuring biological communities is recognized
throughout the field of ecology, but has yet to be well integrated into the restoration and …

Nutrient pollution is a primary driver of eutrophication and harmful algal blooms (HABs) in
estuaries and coastal waters worldwide. In 2011–2012, 20 sites evenly distributed …

Land-based nutrient pollution represents a significant human threat to coral reefs globally.
We examined this phenomenon in shallow seagrass and coral reef communities between …

During the last century organic pollution in coastal areas of the sea has become a serious
world problem. One of the major stresses comes from the input of excessive macronutrients …

Eutrophication has altered food webs across aquatic systems, but effects of nutrient
stoichiometry (varying nutrient ratios) on ecosystem structure and function have received …

In this review, using examples drawn from field observations or experimental studies, our
goals are (i) to briefly summarize the major changes, in terms of species composition and …
