Benthic foraminifera as proxies for the environmental quality assessment of the Kuwait Bay (Kuwait, Arabian Gulf): Morphological and metabarcoding approaches

Eqbal Al-Enezi et al.

Summary: The rapid urbanization and industrialization in Kuwait have led to the degradation of water and sediment quality in the coastal marine ecosystems. This study investigates the ecological response of benthic foraminifera to environmental stress in Kuwait Bay and compares the traditional morphological approach to the innovative eDNA metabarcoding for evaluating the ecological quality status (EcoQS). The results show that both approaches reflect the environmental stress gradient in the bay and the metabarcoding approach has advantages over the conventional morphological approach.

Brazilian Mangroves: Blue Carbon Hotspots of National and Global Relevance to Natural Climate Solutions

Andre S. Rovai et al.

Summary: Mangroves in Brazil hold 8.5% of global mangrove carbon stocks and store up to 4.3 times more carbon in soil than other vegetated biomes. The organic carbon sequestration rates in Brazilian mangroves are 15-30% higher than global estimates. This research identifies Brazilian mangroves as a major global blue carbon hotspot and emphasizes their importance in carbon sequestration.

Disentangling natural vs. anthropogenic induced environmental variability during the Holocene: Marambaia Cove, SW sector of the Sepetiba Bay (SE Brazil)

Wellen Fernanda Louzada Castelo et al.

Summary: A multiproxy approach was used to reconstruct the Holocene paleoenvironmental changes in Marambaia Cove of the Sepetiba Bay, SE Brazil, with a focus on natural vs. anthropogenic variability. The core analysis provided evidence of lagoon evolution and effects of potentially toxic elements under natural vs. anthropic forcing. These findings illustrate the significant impact of anthropogenic activities on sediment geochemistry, pollution loads, and benthic organism health in the study area.

Testing the applicability of random forest modeling to examine benthic foraminiferal responses to multiple environmental parameters

Masoud A. Rostami et al.

Summary: This study identified the main environmental variables influencing benthic foraminiferal distributions and found that sand, silt, Pollution Load Index, and TN were the most influential predictors. The research provides valuable insights on how to enhance sediment quality and environmental stability for marine conservation efforts, offering policymakers a useful tool for surveying marine biodiversity and identifying key thresholds in predictors for protecting and restoring marine ecosystems.

Indicative value of benthic foraminifera for biomonitoring: Assignment to ecological groups of sensitivity to total organic carbon of species from European intertidal areas and transitional waters

Vincent M. P. Bouchet et al.

Summary: This study contributes to confirming benthic foraminifera as a biological quality element by investigating their relationship with TOC. The research establishes five ecological groups and shows a strong correlation between foraminifera and TOC, which can be further tested in different European regional settings.

Assessing the ecological quality status of the highly polluted Bagnoli area (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) using foraminiferal eDNA metabarcoding

M. Cavaliere et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the response of benthic foraminifera and defined the ecological quality status in the Bagnoli area of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy, using traditional morphology-based approach and eDNA metabarcoding. The geochemical data showed higher concentrations of potentially toxic elements in polluted areas near the industrial plant, while distant sites were relatively low-to unpolluted. Significant differences in diversity and assemblage composition were found between polluted and unpolluted areas in both morphological and molecular datasets.

Comparison of Four Foraminiferal Biotic Indices Assessing the Environmental Quality of Coastal Mediterranean Soft Bottoms

Distribution Patterns of Benthic Foraminifera in Fish Farming Areas (Corsica, France): Implications for the Implementation of Biotic Indices in Biomonitoring Studies

Antoine Dubois et al.

Summary: Corsican marine aquaculture in France is a major contributor to fish production, but it may lead to environmental disturbances such as organic matter accumulation under fish farms. This study found that there was a significant increase in total organic carbon below the fish cages, resulting in a shift in benthic foraminiferal species communities. By updating the ecological group classification of certain species, the accuracy and sensitivity of the Foram-AMBI index have been improved.

Utilizing benthic foraminifera to explore the environmental condition of the Laizhou Bay (Bohai Sea, China)

Sandra Donnici et al.

Summary: This study characterized foraminiferal biotopes in the soft bottom sediments of the Laizhou Bay-Yellow River Delta system, identified five biotopes, and assigned main species to four ecological groups based on their sensitivity/tolerance to stress. The Foram-AMBI index was defined using the relative proportions of species assigned to the ecological groups, allowing for the assessment of ecological quality status of marine soft-bottom habitats.

Benthic Foraminiferal Indices and Environmental Quality Assessment of Transitional Waters: A Review of Current Challenges and Future Research Perspectives

Phoebe A. J. O'Brien et al.

Summary: Transitional waters serve as the interface between marine and terrestrial biomes, facing extensive anthropogenic exploitation. Assessing ecological quality status (EcoQS) in these ecosystems is challenging due to high natural variability and lack of pre-human impact information. Foraminifera can be used as environmental sentinels to provide ecological data for EcoQS assessment, correlating with environmental stressors and macrofaunal-based indices, while challenges such as disparate index performance and threshold value assignment remain. Genetic biomonitoring shows potential to enhance EcoQS assessment accuracy in transitional environments.
