A comparison study between 10 Mediterranean lagoons has been carried out by means of
the 3‐D numerical model SHYFEM. The investigated basins are the Venice and Marano …

Abstract The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) establishes a well differentiated
typology of water bodies on the basis of scientific and biological criteria. For coastal waters …

Harmful algal bloom is prevalent in the reclaimed-water-source (RWS) river caused by the
excessive nutrient's inputs. Rainfall water may be the sole nutrient-diluted water source for …

Pollution levels have been increasing in water ecosystems worldwide. A water quality index
(WQI) is an available tool to approximate the quality of water and facilitate the work of …

A 1-year cycle of physico-chemical measurements was conducted in the Marano and Grado
Lagoon (Adriatic Sea, Italy) with the aim to assess its trophic state. Some selected variables …

Patterns of phytoplankton size spectra variation with gradients of environmental stress have
been observed in freshwater, transitional waters and marine ecosystems, driving the …

The accumulation of contaminants and their potential mobility represent two of the main
environmental issues facing coastal environments. Sediments often act as “reservoirs” of …

The hydraulic regime-based zonation scheme of the Lagoons of Marano and Grado (Italy)
has been derived by means of numerical models. A finite element modelling system has …

Phytoplankton are dominant primary producers and key indicators in aquatic ecosystems.
Understanding the controlling factors on the structure of phytoplankton assemblages is …

The quality of the drinking water source reservoirs has always been a research hotspot.
However, few have studies focused on the water quality of reservoirs over a relatively long …
