12 p, 1.5 MB The importance of coastal gorgonians in the blue carbon budget / Coppari, Martina (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Zanella, Chiara (Institut de Ciències del Mar) ; Rossi, Sergio (Rossi Heras) (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Terrestrial (trees, shrubs) and marine (seaweeds and seagrasses) organisms act as carbon (C) sinks, but the role of benthic suspension feeders in this regard has been largely neglected so far. Gorgonians are one of the most conspicuous inhabitants of marine animal forests (mainly composed of sessile filter feeders); their seston capture rates influence benthic-pelagic coupling processes and they act as C sinks immobilizing carbon in their long-living structures.

119 p, 5.6 MB The importance of benthic suspension feeders in the biogeochemical cycles: active and passive suspension feeders in a coralligenous community / Coppari, Martina ; Rossi, Sergio, (Rossi Heras) dir. ; Gori, Andrea, dir. ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals
Hoy en día, el papel primordial jugado por los suspensívoros bentónicos en los ciclos biogeoquímicos y especialmente en la transferencia de materia y energía desde la columna de agua al bentos está más claro. [...]
Nowadays, the paramount role played by benthic suspension feeders in the biogeochemical cycles and especially in the transfer of energy and matter from the water column to the benthos is more clear. Such roles are different, depending on the feeding strategies, the filtration rates and the abundances of these filter feeders. [...]
