The carbon dioxide vents of Ischia, Italy, a natural system to assess impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems: an overview of research and comparisons …
As the ocean continues to take up carbon dioxide (CO2), it is difficult to predict the future of
marine ecosystems. Natural CO2 vent sites, mainly of volcanic origin, that provide a pH …

Ecosystem vulnerability to alien and invasive species: a case study on marine habitats along the Italian coast
Spread of alien species (AS) is a serious threat to marine habitats and analysis of principal
descriptors of their occurrence is pivotal to set reliable conservation strategies. In order to …
