Effect of light intensity on photophysiology and growth dynamics of crustose coralline algae (CCA): implications for the loss of canopy-forming algae
The disappearance of canopy-forming algae in coastal habitats exposes crustose coralline algae (CCA) to varying light conditions during the transition from foliose macroalgal habitats to barren ground by physi...

Open AccessInput of terrestrial organic matter linked to deglaciation increased mercury transport to the Svalbard fjords
Deglaciation has accelerated the transport of minerals as well as modern and ancient organic matter from land to fjord sediments in Spitsbergen, Svalbard, in the European Arctic Ocean. Consequently, such sedim...

Review of inorganic nitrogen transformations and effect of global climate change on inorganic nitrogen cycling in ocean ecosystems
Inorganic N transformations (nitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation, denitrification, and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium) are regulated by various biogeochemical factors linked either by the ...

The impacts of excessive nitrogen additions on enzyme activities and nutrient leaching in two contrasting forest soils
Nitrogen (N) deposition has increased dramatically worldwide, which may affect forest soils in various ways. In this study, we conducted a short-term manipulation experiment of N addition on two types of fores...
