This paper illustrates the main results of a statistical analysis performed on data set obtained by integrating experimental observations collected during many oceanographic research projects northern Adriatic Sea (NAS). The cover last 20 years and provide robust base for assessment current state scales variability temperature, salinity, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll. confirmed clear seasonal cycle marked spatial gradients most parameters in all seasons. largest proportion river...
Venice has long suffered the effects of rising sea levels.The last two stormy seasons brought a series events that peaked in great flood November 2019.Here, we analyze storm, showing (1) how different factors, by themselves unexceptional, gave rise to one worst floods Venice's history, and (2) characteristics this event made storm difficult forecast accurately.We stress need take into account probabilistic information available from ensemble forecasts, discuss within framework present...
Abstract Spread of alien species (AS) is a serious threat to marine habitats and analysis principal descriptors their occurrence pivotal set reliable conservation strategies. In order assess the susceptibility biological invasions, dataset was gathered 3899 from 29 phyla, taken 93 sites located along Italian coast in period 2000–2012. total, 61 AS belonging 11 phyla have been recorded. Invertebrates were most represented (63%). Alien found all examined (EUNIS, level 2), although they showed...
An appropriate model for phytoplankton distribution patterns is critical understanding biogeochemical cycles and trophic interactions in the oceans seas. Because dynamics coastal waters are more complex due to shallow depth proximity land, accurate models applied correct spatial temporal scales needed. Our study investigates role of atmosphere hydrosphere pelagic habitat by modelling assemblages at two Long Term Ecological Research sites northern Adriatic Sea using niche-forming...
Polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUA) are supposed to play critical roles in chemically-mediated plankton interactions. Laboratory studies suggest that they act as mediators of chemical defense and communication. PUA oxylipins containing an α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde structure element mainly found diatoms. We present here a detailed surface mapping during spring bloom the diatom Skeletonema marinoi Adriatic Sea. monitored dissolved PUA, well particulate which produced by phytoplankton after cell...
The European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network (EMO BON) is an initiative of the Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) to establish a persistent genomic observatory among designated coastal marine sites, sharing same protocols for sampling and data curation. Environmental samples are collected from water column, at some soft sediments hard substrates (Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures - ARMS), together with set mandatory discretionary metadata (including Essential Ocean...

Diatoms are able to react biotic and abiotic stress, such as competition, predation unfavorable growth conditions, by producing bioactive compounds including polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs). PUAs have been shown act against grazers either enhance or inhibit the of different phytoplankton bacteria both in culture field. Presence nanomolar concentrations dissolved seawater has reported North Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean), suggesting that these released following diatom cell lysis. However,...
Abstract The protection of marine habitats from human-generated underwater noise is an emerging challenge. Baseline information on sound levels, however, poorly available, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. To bridge this knowledge gap, SOUNDSCAPE project ran a basin-scale, cross-national, long-term monitoring Northern Adriatic A network nine stations, characterized by different natural conditions and anthropogenic pressures, ensured acoustic data collection March 2020 to June 2021,...
Spatial and temporal variations of phytoplankton community structure were studied in the Gulf Venice (Northern Adriatic Sea) from February 1999 to December 2001 (INTERREG II, Italia–Slovenia project). Phytoplankton samples collected, with a monthly frequency, at 11 stations basin. Abundance, biomass, species composition considered. Synthetic descriptors used order evaluate main succession pattern cluster communities that typify different hydrological conditions. A decreasing gradient...
Abstract This paper reports on the main biogeochemical properties of Northern Adriatic Sea in period May 2003–November 2006 within framework European program INTERREG III Italy‐Slovenia. Spatial and temporal distributions water density, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous silicon) chlorophyll a are presented. Multivariate methods such as fuzzy k‐means, self‐organising maps cluster analysis were used to identify different masses characterise spatial variability features present...
Various genetic aspects of the toxic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia species in northwestern Adriatic Sea were investigated. For this area, limited or no knowledge is available regarding diversity and geographical patterns spp., as well toxin content. Phylogenetic analyses identified strains belonging to P. delicatissima, calliantha, pungens mannii. Networks haplotypes inferred from worldwide revealed two main delicatissima Mediterranean north Atlantic, with a single panmictic population sharing...
The Italian Fixed-Point Observatory Network (IFON) integrates well-established coastal and ocean infrastructures (buoys, platforms, moorings, mast etc.), most of them providing real-time multidisciplinary monitoring for a number marine atmospheric variables. Here, we describe the network characteristics then discuss an example its operation during cold spell winter 2012. One goals Flagship Project Ricerca Italiana per il mare (RITMARE) is to create common, validated IFON database able fulfil...
