Microestuaries have a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and human life quality in heavily
populated areas. They are also the last barrier controlling fluxes of pollutants from the land …

Micro-estuarine ecosystems have a surface area< 1 km2 and are abundant in
Mediterranean regions. As a result of their small size, these systems are particularly …

Temporarily closed estuaries require seasonal opening to tidal flows to maintain normal
ecological processes. Each estuary has specific environmental flow (EFlow) requirements …

Coastal eutrophication and urban flooding are increasingly important components of global
change. Although increased seawater renewal by barrier openings and channelizing are …

Micro-estuaries are small ubiquitous transitional water bodies that are often located in semi-
arid zones. Unlike the vastly studied large estuaries, micro-estuaries lack the ability to dilute …

A survey of the quality of water flowing from micro-system types to the ocean, along the
subtropical east coast of South Africa, showed a wide variation in the concentrations of total …

Multi-scale macroalgae growth models are required for the efficient design of sustainable,
economically viable, and environmentally safe farms. Here, we develop a multi-scale model …

Diadromous fish, like the European eel Anguilla anguilla (L., 1758), are highly threatened by
dams that disrupt river connectivity, consequently impeding fish movements to reach feeding …

Context: Artificial breaching of intermittently closed estuaries has become more frequent in
the face of global change pressures. Aims: This study aimed to determine if the ecological …

Pesticides are potentially toxic to aquatic systems, even at low concentration, depending on
their individual ecotoxicological properties and their mixture composition. Thus, to evaluate …
