Microphytobenthos and benthic macroalgae determine sediment organic matter composition in shallow photic sediments

Microphytobenthos and benthic macroalgae play an important role in system metabolism within shallow coastal bays. However, their independent and interactive influences on sediment organic matter (SOM) are not well understood. We investigated the influence of macroalgae and microphytobenthos on SOM q...
