Les basses mediterrànies són ecosistemes amb un alt valor ecològic, que pateixen una forta regressió per les pressions antròpiques. No obstant això, l'atenció científica rebuda sempre ha estat molt escassa, i la majoria ...

The widespread salinisation of freshwater ecosystems poses a major threat to the biodiversity, functioning, and services that they provide. Human activities promote freshwater salinisation through multiple drivers (e.g., ...

Body size has been widely recognised as a key factor determining community structure in ecosystems. We analysed size diversity patterns of phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish assemblages in 13 data sets from freshwater ...

Many human activities—like agriculture and resource extraction—are increasing the total concentration of dissolved inorganic salts (i.e., salinity) in freshwaters. Increasing salinity can have adverse effects on human ...
