  abstract = {{T}he {T}erminos {L}agoon is a 2000-km(2) wide coastal lagoon linked to the largest river catchment in {M}esoamerica. {E}conomic development, together with its ecological importance, led the {M}exican government to pronounce the {T}erminos {L}agoon and its surrounding wetlands as a {F}ederal protected area for flora and fauna in 1994. {I}t is characterized by small temperature fluctuations, but with two distinct seasons (wet and dry) that control the biological, geochemical, and physical processes and components. {T}his paper presents a review of the available information about the {T}erminos {L}agoon. {T}he review shows that the diversity of benthic communities is structured by the balance between marine and riverine inputs and that this structuration strongly influences the benthic metabolism and its coupling with the biogeochemistry of the water column. {T}he paper also presents many specific drivers and recommendations for a long-term environmental survey strategy in the context of the expected {G}lobal {C}hange in the {C}entral {A}merican region.},
