The Peel-Harvey saltmarshes are important locally and regionally, because they support extensive food web and act as a biological filter for the receiving waters. This study was undertaken to examine the ecology and extent of saltmarshes... more
The coastal dunes have almost disappeared from the Italian sandy shores as consequence of both human settlement and tourist exploitation of littoral areas. The few localities stillpartially preserved are therefore considered of particular... more
This study presents an analysis of the evolution of the marshes of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, Spain, based on information available for 7 specific years: 1956, 1977, 1984, 1998, 2005, 2007 and 2013; analyzing variations in 10... more
This study aims to determine the drivers of root decomposition and its role in carbon (C) budgets in mangroves and salt-marsh. We review the patterns of root decomposition, and its contribution to C budgets, in mangroves and saltmarsh:... more
The vegetation-environment relationships in the inland saltmarshes of two geographically distant oases of the Western Desert of Egypt, Siwa, and Dakhla Oases, are described. Two data sets (25 species × 68 stands for Siwa Oasis and 29... more
The interaction between Cd and Zn in aquatic organisms is known to be highly variable. The purpose of this study was to use a subcellular compartmentalization approach to examine Cd and Zn interactions in the deposit-feeding polychaete... more
From September 1994 through October 1995 aboveground and belowground production ofSarcocornia fruticosa andPhragmites australis was studied at two sites in the Po Delta. In 1995, aboveground production forS. fruticosa in an intertidal... more
We report on a decadal trend of accretionary dynamics in the wetlands of several northwestern Mediterranean deltas and a lagoon system, all of them with high rates of wetland loss. Wetland vertical accretion and surface elevation change... more
Adult and juvenile fish utilise salt marshes for food and shelter at high tide, moving into adjacent sublittoral regions during low tide. Understanding whether there are high levels of site fidelity for different species of coastal fish... more

Coastal regions provide vital ecosystem services for the human well-being. Rapid economic growth and increasing population in coastal regions is exerting more pressure on coastal environments. Here we develop four plausible scenarios to... more
Identification guide for samphires found in the saltmarshes of the greater Adelaide and Fleurieu Peninsula regions. A replacement for an earlier guide, with extra information on saltmarsh flora and fauna, the blue carbon values of these... more
The biochemical composition of salt marsh grass, Porteresia coarctata was investigated in this present study along with subsequent analysis of relevant physico-chemical variables. In this study, the relationship between the nutritive... more
