In the last century, large watersheds in Southern Europe have been impacted by a
combination of anthropogenic and climatic pressures, which have rapidly evolved to change …

Hypoxia and anoxia in coastal waters have typically been explained by the respiration of
sinking organic matter associated with nutrient over‐enrichment and phytoplankton blooms …

To examine the influence of salt-wedge intrusion on ecological processes at lower trophic
levels in estuaries, we investigated seasonal variability in the nutrients, phytoplankton …

This study investigated the distribution and roles of total organic carbon (TOC), biogenic
silicon (BSi), various forms of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), and the stable carbon …

Despite the particular management practices and climate characteristics of the
Mediterranean regions, the literature dealing with N budgets in large catchments subjected …

The present work, which is the first comparative study of the growth of the fan mussel Pinna
nobilis in the western Mediterranean, encompasses 12 populations of this species living in …

Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), including nitrate, nitrite and ammonium, frequently acts
as the limitation for primary productivity. Our study focused on the transport and …

Higher nitrogen fluxes through estuaries increase the risk of harmful algal blooms, may
expand eutrophication and can cause hypoxia within estuaries and the adjacent coastal …

Global understanding of land–ocean nutrient fluxes increasingly recognizes the
disproportionate importance of small rivers. We studied nutrient fluxes from a small …

Abstract The Cross River, Calabar River, and Great Kwa River together form a network of an
estuary system otherwise known as the Cross River Estuary system (CRES). Studies of …
