Spatial and temporal dynamics of suspended load at-a-cross-section: The lowermost Ebro River (Catalonia, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2012-07)
Suspended load dynamics were analyzed for the period 2007e2009 in a semi-meandering
cross-section under different hydrological conditions. Samples were collected at four
different points of the ...
Pristine vs. human-altered Ebro Delta habitats display contrasting resilience to RSLR
(Elsevier, 2018-11-23)
River deltas are ecologically and economically valuable coastal ecosystems but low elevations make them extremely sensitive to relative sea level rise (RSLR), i.e. the combined effects of sea level rise ...
Impact of a reservoir system on benthic macroinvertebrate and diatom communities of a large Mediterranean river (lower Ebro river, Catalonia, Spain)
(Asociación Ibérica de Limnologia, 2018)
This study included the main hydrogeomorphic categories of the lower Ebro River and aimed to detect spatial and temporal patterns of macroinvertebrates and diatoms communities inhabiting downstream a ...
Environmental controls on carbon sequestration, sediment accretion, and elevation change in the Ebro River Delta: Implications for wetland restoration
(Elsevier, 2019-03-26)
Delta wetlands are increasingly recognized as important sinks for ‘blue carbon,’ although this and other ecosystem services that deltas provide are threatened by human activities. We investigated factors ...
Normalized abundance spectra of fish community reflect hydro-peaking on a Mediterranean large river
(Elsevier, 2018-10-19)
The European Water Framework Directive requires the integration of body size characters as an important part of fish-based bioassessment tools for freshwaters ecological status determination. The study ...
Changing nutrients, changing rivers
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019-08-16)
Eutrophication—the excessive enrichment of a body of water with nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)—is Earth's most widespread problem for water quality (1, 2). Growing evidence suggests ...
Effects of enhanced hydrological connectivity on Mediterranean salt marsh fish assemblages with emphasis on the endangered Spanish toothcarp (Aphanius iberus)
(PeerJ, 2017-02-28)
The hydrological connectivity between the salt marsh and the sea was partially restored in a Mediterranean wetland containing isolated ponds resulting from former salt extraction and aquaculture activities. ...
The influence of flow regime on ecological quality, bird diversity, and shellfish fisheries in a Lowland Mediterranean River and its coastal area
(MDPI, 2019-05-01)
Designing environmental flows in lowland river sections and estuaries is a challenge for researchers and managers, given their complexity and their importance, both for nature conservation and economy. ...
Flow Regime and Nutrient-Loading Trends from the Largest South European Watersheds: Implications for the Productivity of Mediterranean and Black Sea’s Coastal Areas
(MDPI, 2018-12-20)
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 the ecological status of ...
Neglecting the fallow season can significantly underestimate annual methane emissions in Mediterranean rice fields
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-31)
Paddy rice fields are one of the most important sources of anthropogenic methane. Improving the accuracy in the CH4 budget is fundamental to identify strategies to mitigate climate change. Such improvement ...
