How a hypoxic environment is conducive to organic carbon storage in the coastal ecosystem
Based on the in situ sampling and the laboratory incubation experiment, it is demonstrated that the metabolic activity of microorganisms reduced in hypoxic environment, which was conducive to the preservation of labile organic matter and carbon storage in the coastal ecosystem. Credit: Wenqing Shi.
