TRACE METAL (Toxic Eutrophication, Concentration and Elemental Biogeochemistry In Marine Systems) project

The TRACE METAL project studies how trace metals in marine environments affect ecosystems and food webs. These metals, often released from human activities, can accumulate in water and sediments, leading to toxic levels that harm marine life. The project aims to understand the processes that control the concentration of these metals, their interactions with nutrients, and their overall impact on marine biogeochemistry. By assessing these factors, TRACE METAL seeks to provide valuable insights for better management and protection of marine ecosystems in the face of growing environmental pressures.
