Title: | The response of primary producer assemblages to mitigation measures to reduce eutrophication in a temperate estuary | Authors: | Leston, S. Lillebø, A. I. Pardal, M. A. |
Keywords: | Zostera noltii; Gracilaria; nitrogen; phosphorus; eutrophication | Issue Date: | 2008 | Citation: | Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. 77:4 (2008) 688-696 | Abstract: | The Mondego estuary is a well-described system located on the North Atlantic Ocean, where cultural eutrophication progressed over the last decades of the 20th century. Consequently, and due to a large productivity of Ulva spp., Zostera noltii meadows were severely reduced with a concomitant decrease in environmental quality. In 1998, experimental mitigation measures were implemented, via changes in hydrology to increase circulation and diversion of nutrient-rich freshwater inflow, to reverse the process in the most affected area of the estuary - its South arm. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/5300 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ecss.2007.11.002 | Rights: | openAccess |
