Organic matter (OM) in aquatic systems is either produced internally (autochthonous OM) or
delivered from the terrestrial environment (ter-OM). For eutrophication (or the reverse …

Phytoplankton blooms are an important, widespread phenomenon in open oceans, coastal
waters and freshwaters, supporting food webs and essential ecosystem services. Blooms …

Coastal ecosystems are of high ecological and socioeconomic importance and are strongly
influenced by processes from land, sea, and human activities. In this study, we present …

Transitional waters (TWs), such as coastal lagoons, are bodies of surface water at the
transition between saline and freshwater domains. These environments play a vital role in …

In recent decades, the increase in terrestrial inputs to freshwater and coastal ecosystems,
especially occurring at northern latitudes, has led to a process of water color darkening …

Despite covering only 0.82% of the ocean's surface, the Mediterranean Sea supports up to
18% of all known marine species, with 21% being listed as vulnerable and 11% as …

To identify the environmental factors that drive plankton community composition and
structure in coastal waters, a shallow northwestern Mediterranean lagoon was monitored …

The Mediterranean region is undergoing an increase in the frequency and intensity of
extreme rainfall events, resulting in terrestrial runoffs that can affect aquatic environments in …

Human activities, increasing precipitation, and changes in land run-off deliver a large input
of allochthonous nutrients into coastal waters including terrigenous dissolved organic matter …

As a result of climate change, an increasing number of extreme weather events can be
observed. Heavy precipitation events can increase river discharge which causes an abrupt …
