Abstract:Excessive input of nutrients is one of the main causes of large-scale blooms of benthic algae in the coastal zone of water bodies, which has significant deleterious effects on biodiversity, abundance, and biomass of benthic littoral community. The decay of massive coastal accumulations of benthic algae can lead to secondary pollution in the littoral zone as well as be a source of methane, the second most important greenhouse gas. We experimentally studied methane production during decomposition by native micro… Show more
