Assessment of Soil Analytical Methods and Black Oats (Avena strigosa L.) Morphological and Physiological Responses to Copper ToxicityNARA Subscribed
Copper (Cu) accumulation is a major concern in agricultural production systems due to potential toxicity to plants and environmental contamination. Soil testing is the best available means to determine nutrient availability, but different analytical methods extract various amounts of Cu. Hence, critical levels of Cu toxicity need to be defined for multiple extractants to ensure adequate interpretation of potential element toxi...
Plankton do not care: Minimal effects of ocean liming on plankton growth and grazing in the Eastern MediterraneanNARA Subscribed
Increasing CO 2 emissions have led to the development of CO 2 removal strategies to counteract ocean acidification. Among these, ocean alkalinity enhancement techniques, particularly ocean liming, may represent a promising approach to restore seawater pH and boost CO 2 sequestration. Yet, the impact of liming on plankton communities remains underexplored. In the framework of a mesocosm experiment, we conducted three dilution i...
The spatial representation of benthic habitats is essential across various applications, such as biodiversity monitoring, ecosystem management and conservation, and maritime spatial planning. In this context, classification schemes provide a universally understandable framework to characterize and chart the seafloor. This work introduces the Coast to Deep Mapping (CoDeMap) classification scheme for benthic habitats from the co...
Seabed mapping represents a very useful tool for seascape characterization and benthic habitat study and requires advanced technologies for acquiring, processing, and interpreting remote data. Particularly, acoustic instruments, such as high-resolution swath bathymetry sounders (i.e., multibeam echosounder: MBES), allow us to recognize, identify, and map the extension of benthic habitats without applying invasive mechanical pr...
The coralligenous algal reefs are priority ecosystems of the Circalittoral zone of the Mediterranean Sea shelves. Characterized by decimeter- to meter-high build-ups, these reefs create a complex environment hosting high biodiversity. Despite their common occurrence, the roles of mollusks within coralligenous structures have been overlooked until recently. To address this gap, the CRESCIBLUREEF project investigated samples of...
