This review covers selected 2014 articles on the biological effects of pollutants and human
physical disturbances on marine and estuarine plants, animals, ecosystems and habitats …

Physical and chemical data collected in three stations, with time series ranging from 1983,
1986 and 1989 to 2016, were analyzed in order to detect trends and frequency of …

Ecosystem level changes in water quality and biotic communities in coastal lagoons have
been associated with intensification of anthropogenic pressures. In light of incipient changes …

Abstract The Arabian Sea is prone to large-scale algal blooms during winter monsoon
annually. However, it is unclear why dinoflagellate, especially Noctiluca scintillans, replaced …

During the last century, human activities have exerted an increasing pressure on coastal
ecosystems, primarily inducing their eutrophication, with a more recent partial mitigation of …

This study optimized the experimental conditions for the analysis of dissolved urea in
seawater. The kinetics of the colorimetric reaction of urea with diacetyl monoxime were …

In marine environments, urea is an important component of the biogeochemical cycle of
nitrogen. The autochthonous and allochthonous sources (rivers, aquaculture, waste water …

A simultaneous increase in the use of urea fertilizer and the incidence of harmful algal
blooms worldwide has generated interest in potential loss pathways of urea from agricultural …

Urea is present in all ecosystems, as a result of the metabolism of different organisms and
also of human activity, being the world's most common form of nitrogen fertilizer. Fungi and …

Studying the physiology and genomics of cultured hydrolytic bacteria is a valuable approach
to decipher the biogeochemical cycling of marine polysaccharides, major nutrients derived …
