WiMMed, a distributed physically-based watershed model (II): Application examples
WiMMed (Water Integrated Management for Mediterranean Watersheds) is a physically based and distributed model at watershed scale developed for integrated management of water... -
A System for Monitoring Marine Environments based on Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for monitoring a coastal shallow water marine environment is presented. The study area is located in the Mar Menor coastal lagoon,... -
In two waters: contemporary evolution of lagoonal and marine white seabream...
Brackish water ecosystems are often exposed to wide variations in environmental variables, including temperature and salinity, which may cause strong selective pressures on... -
Fan-surface dynamics and biogenic calcrete development: Interactions during...
Pleistocene alluvial fan surfaces of the Campo de Cartagena-Mar Menor Basin (Murcia, SE Spain) are capped by thick mature calcretes. Calcrete profiles consist mainly of six... -
Nutrient and particulate inputs into the Mar Menor lagoon (Se Spain) from an...
The Mar Menor is a Mediterranean coastal lagoon of high conservation interest, but highly threatened by non-point pollution derived from agricultural lands. This is the first... -
Local perceptions regarding a social-ecological system of the mediterranean...
The social-ecological system of the Mar Menor located in southeastern Spain is facing serious environmental degradation which is generating important economic and social... -
Integrated management in coastal lagoons of highly complexity environments:...
Enclosed coastal seas are usually high environmental value territories that are located, in many cases, in developed countries often subjected to a large catalog of anthropic... -
Arsenic zoning in a coastal area of the Mediterranean Sea as a base for...
The mining activity that has taken place in the mining district of the Sierra Minera of Cartagena-La Union in the SE Spain has caused a great dispersion of potentially dangerous... -
Anthropogenic nutrient sources and loads from a Mediterranean catchment into...
The Mar Menor is a coastal lagoon increasingly threatened by urban and agricultural pressures. The main watercourse draining into the lagoon is the Rambla del Albujón. A... -
Phosphorus fractionation and distribution in salt marsh soils affected by...
The study aimed to establish the distribution and fate of phosphorus in the soils of a coastal salt marsh affected by mine wastes and wastewater effluents. Water samples from... -
The nitrogen cycling in the water of the coastal lagoon of Mar Menor and its...
In this work, we present additional evidence about the nitrification process that occurs in the Mar Menor and how this process affects the turbidity observed in the lagoon... -
Applicability of the trophic index TRIX in two transitional ecosystems: the...
Ecological indicators are commonly used to provide synoptic information about the state of ecosystems. Their main attribute is that they combine a range of environmental factors... -
Espacios intermedios en la arquitectura de La Manga del Mar Menor. Bonet...
En este trabajo, se realiza un análisis de los espacios intermedios y su relación con el espacio interior y exterior con el que conviven en un entorno especialmente condicionado... -
Spatial and temporal variations of hydrological conditions, nutrients and...
The Mar Menor is a sheltered and hypersaline lagoon, with salinity ranges between 38 and 51 psu. The lagoon is threatened by several pressures and in the last decades... -
Differences in spatial and seasonal patterns of macrophyte assemblages...
Although benthic macrophytes must be considered in monitoring programs to establish the ecological status of transitional and coastal waters in the European Union, the patterns... -
Is coastal lagoon eutrophication likely to be aggravated by global climate change?
Coastal zones are widely recognised as being particularly vulnerable to future environmental change. Although a significant number of previous papers warn of an increasing... -
Micropropagation of Asparagus macrorrhizus, a Spanish endemic species in...
Asparagus macrorrhizus: is a new species, which has been recently described. It is limited to the area surrounding the "Mar Menor" lagoon, in Murcia (Spain), and is the only... -
