Short-term versus long-term changes in the benthic communities of a small coast...
Félix, PM; Chainho, P; Costa, Jl; Correia, MJ; Chaves, ML; Medeiros, JP; Cabral, HN; Wouters, N; Bernardo, J; Costa, AM; Cristo, M; Silva, G; Azeda, CThe characteristic high variability and low predictability of coastal lagoons, due to strong changes in marine and freshwater inputs, make these ecosystems an interesting casestudy. The small Melides landlocked coastal lagoon in SW Portugal is a paradigmatic example, with a biological community highly stressed by these phenomena. Benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected in 1998/99 and 2009 and each year...
Inter-annual variations of macrobenthic communities over three decades in a lan...
Correia, M.J.; Costa, J.L.; Chainho, P.; Félix, P.M.; Chaves, M.L.; Medeiros, J.P.; Silva, G.; Azeda, C.; P. Tavares, P.; Costa, A.; Costa, A.M.Santo André is an enclosed brackish water coastal lagoon with temporary connections to the sea by a man-made channel. The exchange and mixture of saltwater and freshwater is irregular and the lagoon may show daily and seasonal fluctuations, but also long-term variation. Different benthic communities may be present along the annual cycle according to the magnitude of episodic freshwater and sea water inputs. In ...
The relationship between phytoplankton diversity and community function in a co...
Duarte, Pedro; Macedo, M.F.; Cancela da Fonseca, L.The decrease of biodiversity related to the phenomena of global climate change is stimulating the scientific community towards a better understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In ecosystems where marked biodiversity changes occur at seasonal time scales, it is easier to relate them with ecosystem functioning. The objective of this work is to analyse the relationship be...
