The use of static indicator species, in which species are expected to have a similar sensitivity or tolerance either natural human-induced stressors, does not account for possible shifts along environmental gradients and between biogeographic regions. Their indicative value may therefore be considered at least questionable. In this paper we demonstrate how responses (i.e. abundance) changes sediment grain size organic matter (OM) alter salinity gradient conclude with plea prudency when...
In the present study, we tested effectiveness of biological trait analysis (BTA) as an ecological indicator in support assessment Ecological Quality Status (EQS) a Mediterranean transitional system by commonly used macrobenthic assemblage diversity (e.g. H' and Margalef) biotic (BENTIX, M−AMBI M−bAMBI) indices. Ten traits describing morphological, behavioral life history characteristics were considered for functional structure macrobenthos. As test historical dataset obtained from Cabras...
Abstract. Measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (DON), and phosphorus (DOP) concentrations are used to characterize the matter (DOM) pool important components biogeochemical cycling in coastal ocean. Here, we present first edition a global database (CoastDOM v1; available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.964012, Lønborg et al., 2023) compiling previously published unpublished measurements DOC, DON, DOP waters. These data complemented by hydrographic such as temperature...

The aim of this work was to investigate the spatial variability sediment bulk properties in surface sediments as well down-core trends, and assess relationship between distribution levels total organic carbon (TOC), Cabras lagoon, Sardinia. Grain size distributions TOC contents were measured (0–2 cm horizon) a grid 31 stations. Vertical profiles along 0–24 depth horizon also three In superficial horizon, content very high, up 43 mg g−1, with mean 33 g−1. Core showed marked reduction ∼20–25...

Over the last few decades, a large number of pH sensitive materials with new compositions and structures have been proposed. Solid state sensors based on organic, inorganic composite are actively investigated, an increasing interest in performance offered by nano-scale materials. Our review provides thorough, up-to-date knowledge wide range measurement methods related sensing materials, firstly introducing well established for then, covering recent developments inorganic, organic...
Coastal lagoons and brackish ponds are extremely dynamic temporary ecosystems that follow natural changes throughout their geological history. The correct management of the ensures integrity proper functioning. For this reason, ecological status should be surveyed for assessing most appropriate strategies use. In present study, historical datasets collected in 2003–2004 used to investigate spatiotemporal variation species composition community structure macrobenthos Tortolì Lagoon (Sardinia,...
1. We review the major variables that can be used to monitor sediment characteristics and benthic processes in transitional water bodies with respect ecological significance, cost/time demands, method consensus, uncertainty of current techniques. 2. Most state variables, namely organic matter, total nitrogen phosphorus contents, are easily determined at low monetary/time cost using standardized However, they not sufficiently informative as individual-specific indicators. 3. The speciation...
