Marine bioconstructions are biodiversity-rich, three-dimensional biogenic structures,
regulating key ecological functions of benthic ecosystems worldwide. Tropical coral reefs …

Biogenic reefs are known worldwide to play a key role in benthic ecosystems, enhancing
biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at every level, from shallow to deeper waters …

The planform evolution of tidal meanders is driven by interactions between channel
morphology and periodically reversing tidal flows, which feed back into the development of …

The northern Adriatic continental shelf hosts several coralligenous reefs rising from the
sedimentary bottom and characterized by three main benthic assemblages, respectively …

We applied a combined approach of benthic terrain modelling with sediment type
distribution, using regional available data sets in order to map the distribution of seabed …

Human pressures on marine ecosystems significantly increased during last decades.
Among the intense anthropic activities, industrial fisheries have caused the alteration of …

Countless submerged rocky formations are scattered in the marine coastal area of the
Veneto region (Northern Adriatic Sea, Italy). They are known to be suitable substrates for …

Meandering channel networks exert a fundamental control on hydrodynamic and
morphodynamic processes within tidal landscapes. The planform of tidal meanders …
