Kelp forests are highly productive coastal ecosystems that sustain organic carbon cycling and diverse food webs; however, their ecosystem metabolism remains insufficiently quantified due to a lack of suitable in situ methods. In this study, the aquatic eddy covariance technique was used to quantify oxygen (O 2 ) flux and net ecosystem metabolism in Ecklonia cava forests along Jeju Island, Korea. We also applied partial least s...

Background Rural cancer survivors consistently experience poorer health outcomes than their urban counterparts, yet the interplay between rurality and area-level disadvantage remains understudied. This study examines how rural versus urban residence and neighborhood disadvantage relate to obesity, smoking, and psychological well-being among cancer survivors. Methods Data from 1,062 HINTS-SEER participants across three registri...

CH 4 emissions from mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass ecosystems partially offset carbon sequestration, potentially diminishing the climate mitigation capacity of these blue carbon habitats. However, a mechanistic understanding of the processes governing CH 4 production potential across large spatial scales remains limited. By integrating incubation‐based measurements from 116 sites, we reveal significant ecosystem‐specific di...
