They serve as natural buffers against wave dynamics, effectively mitigating coastal erosion. Despite covering a small fraction of coastal areas, mangrove forests sequester more carbon dioxide compared to terrestrial vegetation. However, they face significant pressures from both natural forces and human activities, such as coastal development and industrialization, leading to contamination with organic and inorganic pollutants. The accumulation of toxic metals in mangrove ecosystems is of particular concern. This poses significant risks to these forests, which serve as vital habitats and nurseries for marine organisms. Heavy metals accumulate in fish and can potentially enter human food chains through consumption. Mangroves are capable of adapting stressful conditions due to their interaction with soil microorganisms. Mineral-forming bacteria residing in the rhizosphere of mangrove trees play a pivotal role in this context. These bacteria aid in stabilizing heavy metals through mineral precipitation and convert inorganic carbon into a stable carbonate mineral, contributing to carbon sequestration. The biomineralization enhances sediment stability and supports the overall resilience of mangrove ecosystem. While the microbial processes hold a great promise, their role remain underexplored and not fully integrated into the current restoration strategies. Bridging this knowledge gap through interdisciplinary research is essential for developing more sustainable and effective approaches to mangrove conservation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11483,"journal":{"name":"Earth-Science Reviews","volume":"266 ","pages":"Article 105151"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143924160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, many coastal lagoons face growing threats from salinisation and eutrophication driven by climate change and human activities. Climate-induced salinisation arises from multiple factors, including elevated temperatures, enhanced evaporation, reduced precipitation and freshwater inputs, and rising sea levels that trigger upwelling and direct saline intrusion to lagoons. These fragile and complex environments offer valuable models for understanding how coastal zones worldwide respond to global change. This review examines how salinity shapes microbial community composition and biogeochemical processes in hypersaline lagoons. Elevated salinity reduces microbial α-diversity, favouring salt-tolerant taxa and restructuring nitrogen and carbon cycling. Key processes, such as nitrification, denitrification, and methane production are disrupted, altering nutrient retention, organic matter decomposition, and greenhouse gas emissions. Increased salinity also intensifies eutrophication, creating positive feedback loops that weaken ecosystem health and reduce carbon sequestration. Microbial communities exhibit adaptive responses, including osmoregulatory strategies and horizontal gene transfer, which support resilience under rising salinity. By synthesising evidence on these interactions, the review illustrates the importance of understanding microbial-mediated processes to inform the conservation and management strategies for coastal lagoons under climate and anthropogenically-induced salinity change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11483,"journal":{"name":"Earth-Science Reviews","volume":"266 ","pages":"Article 105150"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a potential ERW material, carbonate is characterized by rapid dissolution kinetics and is environmentally friendly. However, the CDR potential, cost, and effectiveness of carbonate-based ERW implementation are not well explored. Using a carbonate equilibrium equation, and the CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) GCM (Global Climate Model) and LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) models, here we analyze the CDR potential, carbon footprint, and cost of a carbonate-based RW strategy (so-called enhanced carbonate weathering, ECW). We estimated that the current global potential carbon removal (PCR) of ECW could reach ∼2.66 (Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5) and ∼ 2.82 (RCP8.5) Gt CO₂ a⁻¹, and that the cumulative CO₂ removal by the end of this century could reach 241.32 Gt CO₂ a⁻¹ (RCP4.5) and 246.64 Gt CO₂ a⁻¹ (RCP8.5). This could potentially neutralize ∼23.11 % (RCP4.5) and ∼ 23.62 % (RCP8.5) of future global carbon dioxide emissions. We also found that the global CDR potential of ECW can respond sensitively to global environmental perturbations, and that the CDR potential in the future will generally increase in high-latitude regions due to global climate change. We compared the cost of enhanced silicate weathering (ESW) with ECW implementations for seven major countries with high CDR potential and found that the cost per mol of CO₂ removal by ECW is 1.33–2.07 times lower than that for ESW. While the stability of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is debated in many studies, we suggest that the new approach represented by ECW should consider the role of aquatic photosynthesis. Overall, the biological pump induced by aquatic photosynthesis is significant for increasing the carbon storage of ECW in inland waters. For future ERW implementation, we stress the need to develop an Enhanced Coupled Carbonate Weathering plus aquatic photosynthesis strategy (ECCW) that can both offset the negative effect of CO₂ degassing and also increase the total CDR of ECW to a greater degree than expected. ECCW remains in the developmental stage, and its large-scale implementation requires further laboratory and field experiments to determine its CDR-efficiency and environmental effects and risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11483,"journal":{"name":"Earth-Science Reviews","volume":"266 ","pages":"Article 105149"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143882901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to understand and quantify the processes regulating sediment generation and transfert in the uphill catchments of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM) - the world's highest coastal range within subtropical regions. We tackle the complex task of quantify the role of external forcings on sediment production in 17 drainages basins within the SNSM by challenging conventional assumptions and introducing new compositional models. Our research significantly expands the existing knowledge base on compositional modelling by presenting a systematic framework for characterizing sediment generation, particularly focusing on the influence of tectonics, climate, lithological factors, and analytical reliability. We produced a robust compositional database encompassing optical petrography (11,463 grains), Raman heavy mineral analysis (44,782 grains), detrital geochronology (apatite, titanite, and zircon – 6378 grains), apatite (1159 grains) and titanite (1571 grains) geochemistry, and bulk-rock and silt-clay geochemistry.We present a novel linear log-ratio (end-member) sediment generation model calibrated on geomorphological parameters as connectivity and erodibility, facilitating the evaluation of sediment generation capacities from metamorphic, plutonic, and volcanic lithologies. Sediment texture and composition vary remarkably from drainage to drainage, providing the elements to model both the relative (by comparing lithologies) and absolute capacity of drainage lithologies to produce sediments, in the settings of the SNSM. Our results reveal significant variations in sediment texture and composition among drainages, providing insights into both the relative and absolute capacity of different lithologies to produce sediments in the SNSM setting. We found that metamorphic rocks produce higher amounts of sand compared to plutonic and volcanic lithologies, while the sediment generation capacity of plutonic rocks is up to 9 times higher than that of volcanic lithologies. In mixed drainages with equal proportions of metamorphic and other rocks, metamorphic detritus can constitute up to 60 % of sand compositions. Surprisingly, geomorphological parameters like structural connectivity and erodibility played a minor role in sediment generation in this tectonic setting, contrary to findings in other regions.
