Studies on shallow lakes from the north temperate zone show that they alternate between
clear and turbid water states in response to control factors. However, the ecology of semi …

Coastal wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems of the world, playing an
important role in coastal defense and wildlife conservation. These ecosystems, however, are …

Body size has been widely recognised as a key factor determining community structure in
ecosystems. We analysed size diversity patterns of phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish …

The most suitable method for estimation of size diversity is investigated. Size diversity is
computed on the basis of the Shannon diversity expression adapted for continuous …

The influence of hydrology, nutrient composition, food resource availability and predation on
zooplankton taxonomic and size diversity was analyzed in several shallow lagoons of a …

The present study aims at finding out the implications of seasonal precipitation in bringing
about habitat variability in Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove ecoregion. This work …

Aquatic metabolism is an important descriptor of ecosystem functioning. The metabolism of
ponds and confined coastal lagoons has been poorly studied in comparison to other aquatic …

Coastal lagoons are unique ecosystems in terms of their phytoplankton community structure,
due to their unstable environment in terms of biological, chemical, and physical conditions …

Ecological recovery following restoration is typically evaluated using metrics based on
species diversity and composition. However, increasing evidence suggests the success of …

This study investigated the major environmental factors structuring, for a year, phytoplankton
assemblages in the Sfax saltern (Tunisia): salinity and nutrients. A STATICO analysis based …
