The presence of emerging contaminants in aquatic systems and their potential effects on
ecosystems have sparked the interest of the scientific community with a consequent …

Nowadays, it is widely recognized that in natural aquatic settings bacterial cells are most
often found in close association with wet surfaces and interfaces in the form of multicellular …

The aim of this work is to assess the physicochemical conditions of the supratidal sediments
colonized by microbial mats at two sites from Rosales Harbor (Bahía Blanca Estuary …

Microbial mats in coastal environments play an important role in both stabilizing the
sediment and preserving sedimentary structures. They represent the first biological systems …

One of the aims of tidal sedimentology in recent years is to find signatures in the
stratigraphic record that help in recognizing basic ancient tidal processes. The present study …

This study focuses on sedimentary structures formed by microbial consortia, in a particular
coastal setting, an ancient tidal channel, separated from the ocean by a sandy spit and …

Modern microbial mats and biofilms play a paramount role in sediment biostabilization.
When sporadic storms affect tidal flats of Bahía Blanca Estuary, the underlying siliciclastic …

In this study, we measured the concentrations of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, Zn, Hg, Mn, and
Fe) and assessed the characteristics of tidal flats (grain size and organic matter content) in …

This chapter describes the diversity of the microscopic and macroscopic benthic algal
assemblages of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, including ecological aspects like their habitats …

Abstract The Salitral de La Vidriera (SDV; 38° 44′ S, 62° 34′ W) once occupied the
innermost section of a funnel-shaped estuary before its isolation due to sea level drop∼ …
