Structural and functional response of phytoplankton to reduced river inputs and anomalous physical-chemical conditions in the Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea)
We studied the influence of anomalous meteorological and hydrological conditions that
occurred in the Gulf of Trieste from March 2006 to February 2007 on phytoplankton structure …
