The growth of green macroalgal mats is becoming increasingly common in many marine intertidal habitats. While the ecological effects of such growth has previously been experimentally investigated on mudflats, such experiments have rarely been performed on intertidal sandflats. This study investigated the ecological effects of macroalgal cover on a moderately exposed intertidal sandflat, Drum Sa...

Wet-dry tropical estuaries are extreme environments driven by wet season rainfall and runoff events. The biota associated with these systems highly adapted to large fluctuations in salinity. There few examples globally where water extraction for human needs has not yet had a major impact on freshwater flow volumes seasonal variability systems. Therefore, this study examined the importance of se...

guilan province is located in south and south-west of the caspian sea. guilan is one of the richest and the most humid region in the country due to suitable climate, ample rainfall and many water sources (springs, rivers, creeks,..),. despite the prevailing favorable conditions, limnological studies, especially in the mountainous regions of this province are limited. a limnological study was co...
