1. Trophic ecology of meiofauna : Response to sedimentation of phytoplankton blooms in the Baltic Sea
Abstract : Marine soft sediments are the second largest habitat on Earth. How animal communities in this habitat are structured is a central issue in marine ecology. Food is an important limiting factor for many benthic populations, and settling organic matter from phytoplankton blooms is of vital importance to them. READ MORE

2. Benthic-pelagic coupling in a changing world : Structural and functional responses of microbenthic communities to organic matter settling
Abstract : Marine soft sediments form the second largest habitat on the planet. Organisms residing in this environment represent a vast reservoir of biodiversity, and play key roles in ecosystem processes. READ MORE

3. Microbenthos under Pressure : Impacts of human activities on bacteria and meiofauna communities in Baltic soft sediments
Abstract : The marine benthic zone is one of the largest habitats on the planet, harbouring a large diversity of life that underpin many important ecological processes. However, these habitats have been under growing stress from human activities, profoundly altering their living communities. READ MORE

4. Ecological succession of benthic macrofauna following disturbance : Effects of contaminants and in situ sediment remediation
Abstract : More than 70% of the Earth is covered by water, and most of the sea floor consists of soft sediments, such as mud, clay and sand. Thus, soft sediments form one of the most important habitats on Earth, with a high diversity of organisms. READ MORE

5. Sediment remediation using activated carbon: amending knowledge gaps
Abstract : Many coastal sediments have accumulated large quantities of contaminants from past anthropogenic activities and now act as a secondary emission source of legacy pollutants to coastal ecosystems. New sediment remediation strategies are needed to address widespread sediment pollution. READ MORE
