Sea level rise (SLR) poses a hazard to ecosystems and economies in low-lying coastal and
estuarine areas. To better understand the potential impacts of SLR in estuaries, a …

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. However, this may come with
a cost, as increasing aquatic production is likely to impose changes in the environment. To …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems such as saltmarshes and seagrasses are important sinks of
organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN), with large global and local variability, driven by …

Understanding how climatic and anthropogenic drivers will influence coastal lagoons is
fundamental to guarantee their preservation and sustainability. The Ria Formosa (coastal …

Worldwide, many estuaries have the potential to harness tidal stream energy via the
conversion of current velocities into a consumable energy source. However, the effects of …

Worldwide, many tidal basins associated with barrier coasts have infilled over the past
millennia due to the combination of sediment supply, wave‐tidal sediment transport, and eco …

Tidal coastal wetlands, common home to seagrass and salt marshes, are relevant carbon
sinks due to their high capacity to accumulate and store organic carbon in their sediments …

The present work aims to characterize Ria Formosa water quality considering its spatial, and
temporal variability at two scales: short-term (among seasons) and long-term to evaluate its …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems are major organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN) sinks,
but the mechanisms that regulate their spatial variability need to be better understood. Here …

Due to their choked geometry, coastal lagoons can attenuate extreme water levels
compared to the open sea. However, this protective property is expected to decrease due to …
