Heavy metals in coastal sediments of South Caspian Sea: natural or anthropogenic source?
This paper focuses on heavy metal distribution patterns in sediments of central Guilan (CG) and east Mazandaran (EM) in the south Caspian Sea coasts, north of Iran. Sediment sub-samples were retrieved from core and surficial samples in different environments of marine and coastal lagoons as well as coastal outcrops. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Atomic Emission Spectrometry (...
متن کاملBenthic metabolism across a gradient of anthropogenic impact in three shallow coastal lagoons in NW Florida
Seagrasses are being lost at alarming rates worldwide, most often due to anthropogenic effects, but few reports have examined how seagrass loss affects the metabolism of coastal ecosystems. Here, we address this question by comparing both areal and system-integrated daytime benthic metabolic rates across 3 lagoons in the North Central Gulf of Mexico that display varying levels of abundance of t...
متن کاملMorphometric assessment of intermittently open/closed coastal lagoons in New South Wales, Australia
This paper provides a framework for the assessment of the natural sensitivity of coastal lagoons to anthropogenic and other external inputs. The assessment framework is based on analysis and consideration of morphometric characteristics of coastal lagoons, and is demonstrated in this paper using eight example intermittently open coastal lagoons from New South Wales, Australia. The framework pre...
متن کاملA Multidisciplinary and Ecosystemic Approach in the Oristano Lagoon-Gulf System (Sardinia, Italy) as a Tool in Management Plans
RESEARCH ARTICLE This paper provides an overview of some of the research activities carried out in the Oristano 1 Lagoon-Gulf system (western Sardinia, Italy) aimed at assessing the ecological quality of a complex transitional-coastal system renowned for its naturalistic and economical value, but subject to an increasing anthropogenic pressure. Numerical models concerning physical and ecologica...
متن کاملBiodiversity of Coastal Lagoon Ecosystems and Their Vulnerability to Global Change
In this chapter we define coastal lagoons according the definition proposed by Kjerfve (1994) as “shallow water bodies separated from the ocean by a barrier, connected at least intermittently to the ocean by one or more restricted inlets, and usually oriented shoreparallel”. This definition is given in an introduction chapter of a multiauthor book edited by Kjerfve (1994). Nevertheless, in the ...
