The degree of development and operability the indicators for Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) using Descriptor 1 (D1) Biological Diversity was assessed. To this end, an overview relevance underlying parameters across 20 European countries compiled by analysing national directives, legislation, regulations, publicly available reports. Marked differences were found between in ecological as well implementation chosen to indicate biological diversity. best scoring EU France, Germany,...
Abstract Salinity is a key variable used to explain the distribution of species within estuaries and functioning estuarine ecosystems. Despite relevance average conditions extreme events, existing schemes zonation are only based on values; values obtained through high‐resolution long‐term data have not been still integrated in an appropriate methodology capable recognizing salinity types. Therefore, background variability has frequently underestimated ecological studies. The primary goal...
Estuaries are socio-ecological systems that can be represented as a holistic combination of biotic and abiotic conditions in spatially explicit units defined by: (i) the ecotope, integration physiotope (abiotic-homogeneous units) biotope (biotic-homogeneous units), (ii) anthrotope, synthesizing data on human drivers ecological change. Nested physiotopes were identified an estuary using hierarchical approach integrates information about eight abiotic, biologically meaningful, variables. The...
The role of the hydrodynamic regime in distribution invasive shrub Baccharis halimifolia (Compositae) Oyambre Estuary (Cantabria, Spain) Coastal estuaries are affected by an increasing number human interventions, including introduction species.Baccharis is endemic to east coast North America and recent decades has colonised a large northern Spain.Although conditions play important creation niches for plant species salt marshes, their interaction with spatial B. remains poorly studied.This...
The Manila clam ( Ruditapes philippinarum ) has been introduced into the Atlantic European coast for commercial exploitation. In this region, population dynamics of species may be determined by interaction with native dwarf eelgrass Zostera noltei ). We performed an experiment in tidal flats estuary located northern Spain to analyse between Z. and juvenile clams. Based on existing knowledge, it was hypothesised that seagrasses act as a nursery protecting juveniles from predation, which is...
