We report the first benthic foraminifera with a composite test (i.e. shell) made of opal, which coats the inner part of the calcitic layer. Using comprehensive techniques, we describe the morphology and the composition of this novel opal layer and provide evidence that the opal is precipitated by the foraminifera itself. We explore the potential precipitation process and function(s) of this composite test and further discuss the possible implications for palaeoceanographic reconstructions.

Adding crushed olivine to coastal sediments could help seawater absorb carbon dioxide, but it may also release toxic metals. We studied olivine in experiments with burrowing marine worms. The worms accelerated the release of alkalinity, a property that helps seawater take up carbon dioxide. Finer olivine released more nickel, while coarse olivine produced a similar increase in alkalinity. Coarser grains may therefore offer a better balance between potential climate benefits and metal exposure.

We combine tidal creek time series measurements, open incubations, and sediment analyses to quantify the main carbon flux pathways in a macrotidal salt marsh. DIC outwelling was the largest form of dissolved carbon export; a part of it consists of CO2 that returns to the atmosphere. Net alkalinity lateral fluxes driven by benthic sulphate reduction was the most chemically conservative carbon sequestration mechanism. We propose the term Alkalinity Blue Carbon (ABC) to describe this pathway.

Shell growth in bivalve aquaculture removes ocean alkalinity, leading to CO2 emissions. Here, we explore a circular solution by crushing shell waste and distributing it into coastal sediments, where its dissolution releases alkalinity that can compensate these emissions. Laboratory experiments showed substantial shell dissolution and alkalinity production, highlighting the potential for aquaculture circularity under suitable sediment conditions.

We studied how genetic material from foraminifera in Hong Kong mangroves and mudflats varies through seasons and how this affects records of past sea levels. Over 2 years, communities in mangroves were relatively stable, allowing accurate estimates of elevation relative to the sea. The mudflat–mangrove transitional zone changed with season, causing biased estimates. Mangroves are therefore more accurate than mudflats for tracking past sea-level change.

Marine sediments are locations of carbon storage. Only some deposited carbon remains stored, while most is lost as CO2 through respiration by organisms. We report experiments to investigate the organisms responsible for marine sediment respiration. Larger organisms and microbes contributed equally to respiration. The groups competed to feed on fresh carbon. Respiration of older carbon was stimulated when both groups were present, thus burrowing activities allow microbial activity to increase.

We studied how tiny shelled organisms called foraminifera living in coastal mudflats respond to changes in their microscopic algae food. By monitoring a French mudflat every month for 3 years, we showed that seasonal environmental changes strongly shape both algae and foraminifera. Using simple algae traits such as size and shape explained feeding patterns better than identifying algae species, offering a clearer way to predict ecosystem responses to environmental change.

Cement and lime kiln dust, industrial by-products, could help remove CO2 from the atmosphere by increasing surface ocean alkalinity. Lab experiments showed that a fraction dissolves rapidly in seawater, releasing substantial alkalinity. Most of the residual fraction may dissolve in marine sediments to drive further carbon storage. Both materials could thus aid in global CO2 removal, but careful application strategies are required to avoid harm to marine ecosystems.

Phosphorus is an essential element for life and its cycling strongly impact primary production. Here, we present a dataset of sediment-water fluxes of dissolved inorganic phosphorus from the Baltic Sea, an area with a long history of eutrophication. The fluxes were measured in situ with three types of benthic chamber landers at 59 stations over 20 years. The data show clear spatial patterns and will be important for marine management and studies on mechanisms in benthic phosphorus cycling.

To examine the potential of accelerated weathering of limestone as a CO2 mitigation technique, we describe AWL thermodynamically as a four-step process, thus providing a model framework that allows us to calculate the efficiency of the different steps as well as the overall CO2 sequestration potential. We then review the different reactor designs that have been proposed for the AWL process in recent years and evaluate their efficiency and potential in terms of CO2 emission mitigation capacity.

Cable bacteria couple the oxidation of sulfide at depth in sediments with the reduction in oxygen, nitrate, or nitrite near the sediment surface, thereby preventing the release of toxic hydrogen sulfide to the overlying water. We show evidence for a diversity of cable bacteria in sediments from hypoxic and anoxic basins along the continental margin of California and Mexico. Cable bacteria activity in this setting is likely to be periodic and dependent on the supply of organic matter and/or oxygen.

Small boat harbours are suggested to cause pollution and alien species introductions. Here we analysed surface sediments in Hinsholmskilen harbour (Sweden) for benthic foraminifera and potentially toxic elements. Molecular and morphological analyses of foraminifera show the presence of two alien species, Trochammina hadai and Ammonia confertitesta, whilst pollution is mostly low for Cd, Co, Ni, and Pb. In contrast, As, Zn, Cu, Hg, and Cr have high levels due to the use of these elements in boat paints.

In marine sediments, dissolved Mn is present as either Mn(III) or Mn(II). We apply a reactive transport model to geochemical data for a seasonally anoxic and sulfidic coastal basin to determine the pathways of formation and removal of dissolved Mn(III) in the sediment. We demonstrate a critical role for reactions with Fe(II) and show evidence for substantial benthic release of dissolved Mn(III). Given the mobility of Mn(III), these findings have important implications for marine Mn cycling.

Marine enhanced rock weathering (mERW) with olivine is a promising method for capturing CO2 from the atmosphere, yet studies in field conditions are lacking. We bridge the gap between theoretical studies and the real-world environment by estimating the predictability of mERW parameters and identifying aspects to consider when applying mERW. A major source of uncertainty is the lack of experimental studies with sediment, which can heavily influence the speed and efficiency of CO2 drawdown.

Benthic foraminifera are single-cell marine organisms which can move in the sediment column. They were previously reported to horizontally and vertically transport sediment particles, yet the impact of their motion on the dissolved fluxes remains unknown. Using microprofiling, we show here that foraminiferal burrow formation increases the oxygen penetration depth in the sediment, leading to a change in the structure of the prokaryotic community.

Mesocosm experiments represent a highly valuable tool in determining the safe operating space of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) applications. By combining realism and biological complexity with controllability and replication, they provide an ideal OAE test bed and a critical stepping stone towards field applications. Mesocosm approaches can also be helpful in testing the efficacy, efficiency and permanence of OAE applications.

Coastal seas experience sediment discharges whose intensity and frequency can strongly be affected by human activities and climate change. We analysed the response of benthic species in an experimental set-up. After the burial under a single thick layer of sediment or multiple thin layers at different times, the analysed species migrate rapidly towards the surface. A stronger effect of a single thick deposit on standing stocks and biodiversity is visible compared to frequent low-sediment inputs.

BlackGate seeks to MSP drill a transect to study the impact of dramatic hydrologic change in Mediterranean–Black Sea connectivity by recovering the Messinian to Holocene (~ 7 Myr) sedimentary sequence in the North Aegean, Marmara, and Black seas. These archives will reveal hydrographic, biotic, and climatic transitions studied by a broad scientific community spanning the stratigraphic, tectonic, biogeochemical, and microbiological evolution of Earth’s most recent saline and anoxic giant.

This study is the first to show non-selective deposit feeding in the foraminifera Nonionella labradorica and the possible uptake of methanotrophic bacteria. We carried out a feeding experiment with a marine methanotroph to examine the ultrastructure of the cell and degradation vacuoles using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results revealed three putative methanotrophs at the outside of the cell/test, which could be taken up via non-targeted grazing in seeps or our experiment.

The concentration of the trace metal barium (Ba) in coastal seawater is a function of continental input, such as riverine discharge. Our geochemical records of the severely hot and dry year 2018, and following wet year 2019, reveal that prolonged drought imprints with exceptionally low Ba concentrations in benthic foraminiferal calcium carbonates of coastal sediments. This highlights the potential of benthic Ba / Ca to trace past climate extremes and variability in coastal marine records.

Short summary
The paper covers the aspects related to changes in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (C, N, P) external loads; their transformations in the coastal zone; changes in organic matter production (eutrophication) and remineralization (oxygen availability); and the role of sediments in burial and turnover of C, N, and P. Furthermore, this paper also focuses on changes in the marine CO2 system, the structure of the microbial community, and the role of contaminants for biogeochemical processes.

Short summary
The paper presents the response of benthic foraminiferal communities to seasonal absence of oxygen coupled with the presence of hydrogen sulfide, considered very harmful for several living organisms.
Our results suggest that the foraminiferal community mainly responds as a function of the duration of the adverse conditions.
This knowledge is especially useful to better understand the ecology of benthic foraminifera but also in the context of palaeoceanographic interpretations.
