-
(2024)Stressful situations include abiotic factors such as exposure to hypersaline waters derived from desalination plants and biotic factors such as infection by new parasites introduced by human activities. The aim was to study ...
-
(2024)In coastal areas, increased climatic and anthropogenic pressures contribute to the reduction of ecosystem services related to the biodiversity of natural capital. These dynamics make the coastal areas one of the most complex ...
-
(2024)Economic valuation of ecosystem services stands as a critical element in comprehending the benefits derived from natural capital and guiding policymakers worldwide. Among these services, the regulation of CO2 fluxes is ...

-
(2024)The coastal cliff on the Vrgada island is developed in Pleistocene aeolian-alluvial deposits which are subject to constant erosion. Digital Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry has been used to record and monitor the erosion ...
-
(2024)The toxic benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata causes harmful algal blooms in Apulia region of Southern Italy. In this study the volunteers of a citizens’ observatory engaged with public research centres to apply a ...
-
(2024)This preliminary study presents an updated checklist of amphipod crustaceans inhabiting Italian seas and provides valuable insights into their diversity, distribution, and ecological traits. By combining existing literature ...
-
(2024)Escherichia coli (E. coli) and intestinal enterococci (ENT) are the indicator bacteria used to test the microbiological quality of bathing water. In Croatia, the quality of bathing water is assessed by parametric method ...
-
(2024)In large coastal cities, beaches are very important public open spaces. However, except in a few studies investigating interactions between uses and environmental beach quality, beach attendance and practices are generally ...
-
(2024)This paper focusses on the documentation of some archaeological case studies in the northern part of the Venice lagoon, an extreme and at the same time vulnerable ecosystem. The study emphasises the challenges of working ...
