Seasonality in coastal benthic ecosystems
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2000For historical reasons, knowledge about seasonality in the dynamics of marine benthic suspension feeders from temperate areas comes mainly from studies of cold temperate seas. Recent surveys of Mediterranean taxa show different patterns from those observed in cold temperate seas, which are characterized by winter dormancy.

Microplastics in Singapore’s Coastal Mangrove Ecosystems
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014The prevalence of microplastics was studied in seven intertidal mangroves habitats of Singapore. Microplastics were extracted from mangrove sediments via a floatation method, and then counted and categorized according to particle shape and size. Representative microplastics from Berlayar Creek, Sungei Buloh, Pasir Ris and Lim Chu Kang were isolated for

REGIME SHIFT IN A COASTAL MARINE ECOSYSTEM
Ecological Applications, 2008We demonstrate changes in ecosystem stable states in a coastal lagoon that are consistent with what a regime shift would hypothesize. In the nutrient-stressed Ringkøbing Fjord, Denmark, a small change in one variable (salinity) facilitated by a change in sluice management, caused a sudden regime shift from a bottom-up controlled turbid state, into a ...

Support underway for coastal ecosystems
Science, 2014In his perspective “A global strategy for protecting vulnerable coastal populations” (12 September, p. [1250][1]), E. B. Barbier proposes the establishment of a global emergency task force, combined with international financial support to reduce vulnerability in the long-run, as a means to protect coastal populations from the threats posed by climate ...

Trophic Cascades in Coastal Ecosystems
The more we learn about coastal ecosystems, the more important predation and trophic cascades appear for ecosystem integrity. Trophic cascades shape marine food webs, structure coastal habitats, contribute to complex adaptive processes and regime shifts, and even determine properties of the physical environment.Eriksson, Britas Klemens +3 more

Abstract In addition to mangrove forests, five other types of ecosystems are found around the coasts of Sumatra. These are: beach vegetation on accreting coasts (pes-caprae formation), beach vegetation on abrading coasts (Barringtonia formation:), brackishwater forests, rocky shores and coral reefs.

Coastal Ecosystems and Services
2019Coastal areas occupy one of the most dynamic interfaces on Earth, at the boundary between land and sea, and they support some of the most diverse and productive habitats. The physical environment of the coastal region is highly variable within relatively small spatial extent. The interactions between biological component and their surroundings are more

Abstract Coastal areas are very fragile, and sensitive towards change, whether by human activities or because of natural event5. Coastal areas not only include beaches, or mouths of rivers, but may extend far inland, and offshore. Any form of activity inland, such as logging, damming, or erosion upstream, will affect marine ecosystems ...
