Freshwater Discharge and Salinity Drive Taxonomic and Functional Turnover of Microbial Communities in a Turbid Macrotidal Estuary Open
The drivers of spatiotemporal changes in microorganism's functional community structure remain poorly understood. Using DNA‐amplicon sequencing we studied the spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial and eukaryotic microbial communities in the…

Nature‐based shoreline protection in newly formed tidal marshes is controlled by tidal inundation and sedimentation rate Open
Many tidal marshes have been lost by past land use changes, but are nowadays increasingly restored and created to provide valuable ecosystem services such as nature‐based flood and erosion protection along estuarine shorelines. To be funct…

Exploring the Genetic Structure and Phylogeographic Patterns of the Copepod Genus Eurytemora in Europe Open
The genus Eurytemora is a diverse group of copepods found in coastal, estuarine, brackish, and freshwater environments. The main research has focused on Eurytemora affinis (Poppe, 1880) and revealed it to be a species complex. Eurytemora v…

Revealing mechanisms regulating diurnal groundwater level fluctuation in a temperate fen peatland: A spatiotemporal exploration Open
Diurnal groundwater level fluctuations (DGLF), closely tied to the metabolic rhythm of wetland vegetation, offer insights into direct groundwater consumption. This study is centered on exploring the spatial and temporal patterns of DGLF wi…

Identifying the drivers of sediment strength and erosion resistance in natural and restored tidal marshes Open
Tidal marshes can contribute to nature-based coastal protection by reducing both wave loading onto the shore and erosion of the shoreline. To implement such nature-based coastal protection requires knowledge on how to restore or create tid…

Integrating Ecosystem Services into Impact Assessments: A Process-Based Approach Applied to the Belgian Coastal Zone Open
Policy makers increasingly acknowledge the importance of considering ecosystem services (ESs) and biodiversity in impact assessment (IA) to reduce ecosystem degradation and halt ongoing losses of biodiversity. Recent research demonstrates …

The effects of dunite fertilization on growth and elemental composition of barley and wheat differ with dunite grain size and rainfall regimes Open
Enhanced weathering (EW) of silicate rocks is a negative emission technology that captures CO 2 from the atmosphere. Olivine (Mg 2 SiO 4 ) is a fast weathering silicate mineral that can be used for EW and is abundant in dunite rock. In add…

Glacier retreat alters downstream fjord ecosystem structure and function in Greenland Open
The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is accelerating, with glaciers shifting from marine to land termination and potential consequences for fjord ecosystems downstream. Monthly samples in 2016 in two fjords in southwest Greenland show th…

The effects of olivine fertilization on growth and elemental composition of barley and wheat differ with olivine grain size and rain regimes. Open
With rising population growth, there is a need for increased food production. With rising temperatures and more frequent droughts due to climate change, it becomes more challenging to keep up with this increased demand for food. Therefore,…

Effects of Glacial Flour on Marine Micro-plankton: Evidences from Natural Communities of Greenlandic Fjords and Experimental Studies Open
Meltwater runoff from glaciers carries particles, so-called glacial flour that may affect planktonic organisms and the functioning of marine ecosystems. Protist microplankton is at the base of marine food webs and thus plays an important r…

Stability of a Tidal Marsh Under Very High Flow Velocities and Implications for Nature-Based Flood Defense Open
Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense structures such as levees. However, recent analysis of historic coas…

Seasonal Variations in Flocculation and Erosion Affecting the Large‐Scale Suspended Sediment Distribution in the Scheldt Estuary: The Importance of Biotic Effects Open
Many estuaries exhibit seasonality in the estuary‐scale distribution of suspended particulate matter (SPM). This SPM distribution depends on various factors, including freshwater discharge, salinity intrusion, erodibility, and the ability …
