Coastal waters are highly productive and diverse ecosystems, often dominated by marine
submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and strongly affected by a range of human pressures …

For the last few decades, coastal eutrophication with the associated mass development of
opportunistic macroalgae has increased on a global scale. Since the end of the 2000's, the …

Eutrophication is a strong driver that modifies coastal areas globally and measures to
reduce nutrient input are implemented in many areas. As nutrient concentrations in coastal …

Macroalgae are widely used for bioindication and assessment; however, in the case of
pollutants of different origin, it is still unclear which contaminants in thalli can be regarded as …

This study conducted a community investigation via scuba-diving excursions into the
subtidal regions of seven sea areas on the eastern coasts and three sea areas on the …

The continuous increment in world population coupled with the greatest natural resource
consumption and waste generation has an enormous impact on the environment. To date …

The canopy-forming brown macroalgae Fucus vesiculosus and Fucus radicans (Fucus) are
the largest habitat-building species on rocky shores of the northern Baltic Sea. While their …

Anthropogenic eutrophication is altering aquatic environments by promoting primary
production. This influences the population dynamics of consumers through bottom-up …

Marine macrophytes and‐algae have undergone major changes in abundance and species
composition over the last decades, primarily due to eutrophication. However, comparable …

Abstract [eng] For the implementation of the Water Framework Directive and the Marine
Strategy Framework Directive, nu-merous indicators based on macrophytes have been …
