Programa de seguimiento de eutrofización en la laguna costera Mar Menor
El objetivo general del programa es la detección y caracterización de episodios de eutrofización en el Mar Menor y su evolución, en la columna de agua. De acuerdo con esto, los... -
Evidence of a planktonic food web response to changes in nutrient input...
Nutrient input dynamics in the Mar Menor coastal lagoon has recently changed as a consequence of changes in agricultural practises. An interannual comparison of the... -

Understanding nutrient loads from catchment and Mar Menor eutrophication
Eutrophication is one of the largest threats to aquatic ecosystems in the world. Mar Menor hypersaline lagoon is an example of a coastal lake under eutrophication risk due... -
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... -
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... -
