Journal ArticleDOI

Marine biodiversity-ecosystem functions under uncertain environmental futures.

TL;DR: This work examines the roles of two important climate change variables, temperature and concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, on the relationship between invertebrate species richness and nutrient release in a model benthic estuarine system and finds significant interactions between the climate variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of biodiversity-climate futures on primary production and metabolism in a model benthic estuarine system.

TL;DR: Overall, the findings suggest that in natural systems, the complex interactions between changing environmental conditions and any associated changes in invertebrate assemblage structure are likely to reduce MPB biomass, with important implications for system ecology and sustainable exploitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using Prokaryotes for Carbon Capture Storage

TL;DR: The use of natural microbial communities with natural ability to utilize and assimilate CO2 through different metabolic pathways are proposed for CCS monitoring and CO2 utilization, and how synthetic biology may maximize CO2 uptake within and above storage sites is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature Driven Changes in Benthic Bacterial Diversity Influences Biogeochemical Cycling in Coastal Sediments.

TL;DR: A manipulative mesocosm experiment was employed, using next-generation sequencing to assess changes in microbial communities under future environmental change scenarios and revealed Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria dominated the total bacterial community of sediment samples.
