Salinity as the main factor structuring small-bodied fish assemblages in hydrologically altered Mediterranean coastal lagoons
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2013-02-26)
In the Ebro Delta coastal lagoons, one of the main anthropogenic pressures is the artificial freshwater input. Each coastal lagoon has different water management schemes causing profound changes in its ...
The combined use of chemical and biochemical markers in Rutilus rutilus to assess the effect of dredging in the lower course of the Ebro River
(Elsevier, 2018-02-26)
The lower course of the Ebro River is polluted with high concentrations of organochlorine compounds dumped by a chloro-alkali plant during the last century. A remediation plan, including building of a ...
Community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates inhabiting a highly stratified Mediterranean estuary
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2011-09-30)
The community composition and spatial distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates were studied along the
Ebro estuary, a highly stratified estuary located in the NE Iberian Peninsula. During the last ...
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 ...
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 ...
Breeding, planktonic and settlement factors shape recruitment patterns of one of the last remaining major population of Pinna nobilis within Spanish waters
(Springer, 2019-11-27)
The pen shell, Pinna nobilis L., is a critically endangered bivalve threatened by mass mortality events throughout the Mediterranean, but the Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta) still hosts many healthy individuals. ...
Ecosystem-level effects of re-oligotrophication and N:P imbalances in rivers and estuaries on a global scale
(Wiley, 2022-11-11)
Trends and ecological consequences of phosphorus (P) decline and increasing nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (N:P) ratios in rivers and estuaries are reviewed and discussed. Results suggest that re-oligotrophication ...
Growth of juvenile Pinna nobilis in captivity conditions: Dietary and pathological constraints
(Elsevier, 2020-02-25)
The fan mussel, Pinna nobilis, is an endemic Mediterranean species, whose populations have been seriously affected by infectious diseases. The effect of diet composition on growth and survival rates, ...
Environmental typology of rivers from the Brazilian semiarid as a first step for the application of the index of biotic integrity: The case of the Chapada Diamantina
(Wiley, 2020-03-02)
Defining environmental river types is an essential step in the development of accurate fish‐based methods (IBI, Index of Biotic Integrity) to assess the environmental quality of aquatic ecosystems. In ...
