Enhanced weathering of (ultra)basic silicate rocks such as olivine-rich dunite has been proposed a large-scale climate engineering approach. When implemented in coastal environments, olivine is expected to increase seawater alkalinity, thus resulting additional CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. However, mechanisms marine and its effect on seawater–carbonate chemistry remain poorly understood. Here, we present results batch reaction experiments, which forsteritic was subjected rotational...
In this study, we investigated the emergence of spatial self-organized patterns on intertidal flats, resulting from interaction between biological and geomorphological processes. Autocorrelation analysis aerial photographs revealed that diatoms occur in regularly spaced consisting elevated hummocks alternating with water-filled hollows. Hummocks were characterized by high diatom content a sediment erosion threshold, while both low These results highlight growth sedimentary processes as...

Hypoxia represents one of the major causes biodiversity and ecosystem functioning loss for coastal waters. Since eutrophication-induced hypoxic events are becoming increasingly frequent intense, understanding response ecosystems to hypoxia is primary importance understand predict stability functioning. Such ecological may greatly depend on recovery patterns communities return time system properties associated these patterns. Here, we have examined how reassembly a benthic community...

The effect of physical disturbance in the form trampling on benthic environment an intertidal mudflat was investigated. Intense created as unintended side-effect by ecologists during field experiments spring and summer 2005, when a mid-shore area 25 × m visited twice per month average five researchers for period 8 months. At putatively-impacted location (I) (25 m) two nearby control locations (Cs) each), three sites (4 4 were randomly selected at each site, plots (50 50 cm) sampled after 18...
Abstract New human uses on the marine environment, such as deep-sea mining (DSM), have necessitated adoption of more holistic approaches ecosystem-based management (EBM) to secure sustainable development. The United Nations Convention Law Sea (UNCLOS) and rules, regulations, procedures adopted by International Seabed Authority (ISA) represent main regulatory framework govern DSM activities. This study aimed examine whether UNCLOS ISA documents include references EBM principles, if these vary...
Two species of the genus large gastropods Cymbium were observed on tidal flats Banc d'Arguin, Mauritania: C. pepo and tritonis . Average densities a flat studied in detail 0·0009 0·0014 individuals per m 2 , respectively. Both leave April are absent until at least September. Their density was maximal sandy sediments. Probably distribution their prey determines Cymbium. Prey bivalves Anadara senilis (97%), an occasional Solen vagina Venerupis sp. The annual predation pressure intertidal...

Due to the anthropogenic increase of atmospheric CO2 emissions, humanity is facing negative effects rapid global climate change. Both active emission reduction and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are needed meet Paris Agreement limit warming 1.5 °C by 2050. One promising CDR approach coastal enhanced weathering (CEW), which involves placement sand made (ultra)mafic minerals like olivine in zones. Although large-scale could beneficially impact planet through consumption ocean...
