The impact of extreme flooding events and anthropogenic stressors on the macrob...
Cardoso, P. G.; Raffaelli, D.; Lillebø, A. I.; Verdelhos, T.; Pardal, M. A.Marine and coastal environments are among the most ecologically and socio-economically important habitats on Earth. However, climate change associated with a variety of anthropogenic stressors (e.g. eutrophication) may interact to produce combined impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, which in turn will have profound implications for marine ecosystems and the economic and social systems that depend...
Anthropogenic and natural disturbance effects on a macrobenthic estuarine commu...
Dolbeth, M.; Cardoso, P. G.; Ferreira, S. M.; Verdelhos, T.; Raffaelli, D.; Pardal, M. A.For some decades, the Mondego estuary has been under severe ecological stress, mainly caused by eutrophication. The most visible effect was the occurrence of macroalgal blooms and the concomitant decrease of the area occupied by Zostera noltii beds. Since the end of 1998, mitigation measures were implemented in the estuary to promote the recovery of the seagrass beds and the entire surrounding environment. The ...
The effect of eutrophication abatement on the bivalve Scrobicularia plana
Verdelhos, T.; Neto, J. M.; Marques, J. C.; Pardal, M. A.Over the last few decades, the excessive growth of macroalgae and decline of seagrass beds, associated with increased eutrophication, has become a worldwide problem. It is known that submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) offers stable habitats, allowing the continuous availability of food and protection against predators and contributing to biodiversity, sediment stability and water transparency when compared to a...
Management of a shallow temperate estuary to control eutrophication: The effect...
Lillebø, A. I.; Neto, J. M.; Martins, I.; Verdelhos, T.; Leston, S.; Cardoso, P. G.; Ferreira, S. M.; Marques, J. C.; Pardal, M. A.The Mondego estuary, a shallow warm-temperate intertidal system located on the west coast of Portugal, has for some decades been under severe ecological stress, mainly caused by eutrophication. Water circulation in this system was, until 1998, mainly dependent on tides and on the freshwater input of a small tributary artificially controlled by a sluice. After 1998, the sluice opening was effectively minimised t...
