Sediment, a special realm in aquatic environments, has high microbial diversity. While there are numerous reports about the community marine sediment, freshwater and intertidal sediment communities have been overlooked. The present study determined millions of Illumina reads for comparison bacterial freshwater, wetland, sediments along Pearl River, China, using technically consistent approach. Our results show that both taxon richness evenness were highest medium lowest sediment. number...

Coastal wetlands trap plastics from terrestrial and marine sources, but the stocks of their impacts on coastal are poorly known. We evaluated stocks, fate, biological biogeochemical effects in with plastic abundance data 112 studies. The representative that occurs wetland sediments is ingested by animals reaches 156.7 98.3 items kg–1, respectively, 200 times higher than (0.43 kg–1) water column. Plastics more abundant mangrove forests tidal marshes flats seagrass meadows. variation related...

The changes in population size of different microbial groups (total aerobic heterotrophs, actinomycetes, fungi, fecal coliforms, ammonium- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria) the activities 19 enzymes (three phosphatases, three esterases, two proteases, amino-peptidases, eight glycosyl-hydrolases) were examined during cocomposting poultry litter (a mixture manure, waste feed, feathers, wood shavings) yard trimmings grass clippings, leaves, barks). Three piles with forced...
