| Overview: Coastal marine ecosystems, which represent an important reservoir for biodiversity and play a major role in regulating carbon and nutrient biogeochemical cycles, are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic perturbation. However, due to the complexity, remoteness and spatio-temporal variability of this environment, the relationships between tightly coupled biological and geochemical....
