We applied a thermodynamic and network analysis on the micro and meio-benthic community in a wide coastal area of the southern Adriatic Sea in order to assess ecosystem health and to identify useful descriptors of environmental quality. The analysis of the micro and meio-benthic system in terms of organic matter, bacteria, microphytobenthos and meiofauna reflected changes occurring in the trophic state of benth...

Benthic eutrophication often gives origin to qualitative changes in marine and estuarine ecosystems, for example the shift in primary producers, often followed by changes in species composition and trophic structure at other levels. Through time such modifications may determine a selected new trophic structure. The development of structural dynamic models will allow to simulate such changes, using goal function...
