DOI: 10.3390/biology11071085
Abstract: Simple Summary The sediments on the seafloor are inhabited by multiple macroscopic organisms such as shells and worms, which, among other things, influence the biogeochemical cycling by flushing the near-bottom water through their gangways. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology12020147
Abstract: Simple Summary Coastal areas, especially river plumes, are very diverse and dynamic zones where numerous geological, chemical and biological processes take place. This is because fresh water from the river with all substances, including pollutants… read more here.
