Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector globally, yet intensive farming in China has led to severe ecological degradation of coastal marine pastures, including habitat loss, disease o...
Global warming and the resulting surface seawater stratification have led to dominance of small phytoplankton, driving substantial changes in planktonic ecosystem structure. This study investigates th...
The marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool is one of Earth's largest carbon reservoirs and a critical regulator of global carbon flux, yet the microbe-molecule interactions governing it remain lar...
Seamount ecosystems are increasingly exposed to rapid oceanographic change, including warming waters, declining oxygen concentrations, and the upward migration of carbonate saturation horizons. Togeth...
Understanding the current and future trajectories of critical habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management, especially in semi-enclosed environments such as the Mediter...
Sponges are important members of shallow-water, benthic ecosystems, where they often rely on their microbial symbionts to acquire organic or inorganic carbon. Sponges are also found in the deep sea, h...
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of the most important organic sulfur compounds in the ocean and plays a key role in polar carbon and sulfur cycles. Sulfitobacter sp. M13, a Gram-negative and ...
This study investigated the long-term persistence of drilling waste (DW) in unconsolidated deep-sea sediments of the Ulleung Basin three years after gas hydrate drilling at Site UBGH2-6. Seafloor imag...
Managing marine pollution from expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a critical environmental challenge, yet reliable empirical data on the actual recovery burden are often lacking. This investigation address...
Antarctica's remote wilderness is increasingly impacted by human activities such as tourism, scientific research, and historical and contemporary exploitation of marine resources. Despite regulatory m...
Target capture is widely used to enrich endogenous DNA from calcium phosphate skeletal material in vertebrates, but its performance on calcium carbonate hard parts widely produced by invertebrates rem...
Here we report the microbiome composition and lipid (molecular and isotopic) profile of gills from Archivesica sp. Atacama., a new species of deep-sea bivalve family Vesicomyidae collected at 2839 m d...
Cold-water coral reefs host diverse microbial communities that play key roles in nutrient cycling and deep-sea productivity. Among them, methylotrophic bacteria metabolize and cycle one-carbon (C1) co...
Petroleum pollution poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, extending its impact to deep-sea environments. Cold seeps represent unique deep-sea ecosystems and are natural hotspots for studyin...
In this study, the effects of highly active alkaline electrolyzed water (AEW) on the mechanical properties, shrinkage behavior, alkali activation reaction characteristics, and microstructure of alkali...
Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of biogenic carbon on Earth, yet remarkably few animals can exploit it. While terrestrial wood-feeders like termites rely on highly diverse gut microbiomes, xylo...
Chitosan, derived from marine resources and insects, is biodegradable, non-toxic, and chemically tunable, which makes it a good candidate in green technology. Recent improvements in chitosan composite...
Diverse ecosystems on land and in the ocean are thought to be more productive, stable and resistant to change, but these relationships are highly variable across systems and scales. Although the produ...
Deep-sea hard substrates host faunal novelties and distinct evolutionary lineages. However, sessile organisms on rocks are difficult to sample and largely unknown at extreme hadal depths. Here, we rep...
Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support marine biodiversity and provide essential services to coastal economies. However, they are increasingly threatened by different contaminants, such as poly...
