“…There are many environmentally perturbing threats both natural and human that can limit the ecosystem services provided by marine coastal zone assemblages (Table 9). There are new research areas that focus on different regions and habitats, and more large scale methods are beginning to allow a picture of ecosystem services and the complex ways these macroinvertebrate assemblages provide them [21,42,44,[46][47][48][49][50][51].…”

Ecosystem services provided by marine inter-and sub-tidal benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages are often overlooked given their benthic location that is not evident to most observers. The macro-flora and macro-fauna that are the basis for these assemblages are impacted by changes in physical, chemical, and hydrological short and long-term alterations to their habitats. Globally, benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages can be categorized to examine ecosystems services provided by these highly productive coastal areas and the significance of the biodiversity of these assemblages should not be taken for granted. Ecosystem services provided can be categorized just as other global ecosystem services. The ecosystem services provided by marine coastal zones thus include Provisional, Supporting, Regulating, and Cultural Services. Significant environmental impacts to all of these types of ecosystem services have ensued from both natural and human events during the last decade. In addition to ongoing coastal human activity related threats to these areas, the disturbances to these assemblages immediately after a natural disaster event are currently a focus of research. Quantifying the impacts across the subunit of macroinvertebrate benthos is a focus of much current research. The current knowledge base and predicted recovery timeframes, in addition to the need for further investigation of long-term environmental societal factors are important globally.

“…With the establishment of the Beibu Gulf Economic Rim and ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA), Beibu Gulf has now become an essential economic development area in China. On the other hand, the accelerated industrialization and rapid population growth also consequently leads to increasing pollution in this coastal area (Xia et al, 2011), involving heavy metal (Xia et al, 2011;Gan et al, 2013;Gu et al, 2015) and organic pollutants (Zhang et al, 2014;Li et al, 2014Li et al, , 2015Kaiser et al, 2016;Ma et al, 2017).…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in marine sediments sampled from an area affected by oil spills in Beibu Gulf, China, in order to determine the distribution and potential sources of these PAHs. The total PAHs concentrations presented a range from 11.30 to 141.56 ng/g with a mean value of 42.12 ng/g, which were relatively low compared to other bays around the world. The four-ring PAHs predominated in most sediment samples, accounting for an average of 41.25%. Principal component analyses (PCA) with multiple linear regression analysis (MLR) and positive matrix factorization (PMF) were used for PAHs source apportionment. The two receptor models both gave good correlation coefficients between predicted and observed PAHs concentrations (R 2 = 0.9982 to 0.9987). Three and five factors were obtained from PCA-MLR and PMF, respectively. One factor was identified by PCA as contributions from mixed sources of fuel combustion and coke production (51.44%). This factor was differentiated into two factors by PMF as contributions from fuel combustion (20.43%) and coke production (28.99%). Another PCA factor was attributed to combined coal combustion and crude oil pollution (35.23%). PMF also differentiated the factor into two factors, the percentages contributions of which were 23.10% and 13.27%, respectively. Both models gave comparable contributions from wood combustion (13.34% and 14.20%, respectively).
