The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

Soil erosion is the most widespread form of soil degradation. Land area globally affected by
erosion is 1094 million ha (Mha) by water erosion, of which 751 Mha is severely affected …

Mud accumulates on continental shelves under a variety of environmental conditions and
results in a diverse formation of mud depocenters (MDCs). Their three-dimensional …

The speciation of iron in sediments and sedimentary rocks is a widely used proxy for the
chemistry and oxidation state of ancient water bodies. Specifically, the fraction of reactive …

Abstract Microplastics are small (< 5 mm) fragments of plastic debris that are ubiquitous in
coastal areas and in open ocean. We have investigated the occurrence and composition of …

The chemical characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soils that experience
erosion and deposition are key to the biogeochemical cycle of carbon on the earth's surface …

The link between climate-driven river runoff and sole fishery yields observed in the Gulf of
Lions (NW Mediterranean) was analysed using carbon-and nitrogen stable isotopes along …

Benthic foraminifera were collected in the Rhône prodelta (Gulf of Lions, Mediterranean
Sea), an enriched zone with high organic matter content. In June 2005, sediment cores were …

A dedicated trawling experiment was performed at three sites on the Gulf of Lion continental
shelf, with the aim of assessing the resuspension of particulate and dissolved matter …

In this study, living (Rose Bengal stained) foraminiferal faunas from 31 stations along the
entire French Mediterranean Sea coast except Corsica have been analysed. In the context …
