Habitat change driven by plant invasion restructures benthic diversity in intertidal wetlands
Since its introduction to China in 1979, Spartina alterniflora has steadily expanded along the southeast coast of China and reshaped the intertidal ecosystem by altering the properties of sediments. These changes, in turn, will affect the composition and

Natural hydrological variability in lotic ecosystems can include prolonged periods of flow recession. A reduction in discharge is accompanied by abiotic changes in benthic and hyporheic habitats, often including reductions in s habitat availability ...

Short-term fate of phytodetritus in sediments across the Arabian Sea Oxygen Minimum Zone [PDF]
The short-term fate of phytodetritus was investigated across the Pakistan margin of the Arabian Sea at water depths ranging from 140 to 1850 m, encompassing the oxygen minimum zone (~100–1100 m).

The deep benthic communities of tropical lakes are poorly understood with respect to their composition, abundance, biomass and regulatory factors. Whereas the hypolimnia of temperate oligotrophic lakes remain oxygenated, the higher temperatures in ...

Benthic hotspots in the pelagic zone: Light and phosphate availability alter aggregates of microalgae and suspended particles in a shallow turbid lake [PDF]
AbstractLimnetic aggregates from a turbid delta lake with low dissolved nutrient availability were studied in relation to light and dissolved nutrient availability. Quick light‐attenuation restricts the euphotic zone to the top surface layer of the water column, whereas mineralization processes in the sediment specifically provide dissolved nutrients ...

Benthic quality evaluation of immersion zones of sediments dredging
Dredging operations pose the problem of sediment deposits to be evacuated by taking into account economic incidences and environmental aspects related to environmental protection. Coastal sediments are high biodiversity zones, where a multitude of living organisms have a special relationship with their substrate.
