Abstract: We analysed the relationship between functional and structural variables (leaf litter decomposition, biofilms growth, primary productivity, invertebrate communities’ taxonomic structure, and biological traits) and environmental conditions from headwaters into the estuary, which remains under-investigated. Six… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Planktic algae have an essential role in the food web as primary producers; the determination of the ecological niche space occupied by them is thus essential in strategies aimed at sustaining the biodiversity of… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The impoundment of running waters through the construction of large dams is recognised as one of the most important factors determining the transport, transformation, and outgassing of carbon (C) in fluvial networks. However, the… read more here.
