Evaluation of eutrophication in the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon, Portugal

The Ria Formosa is a shallow mesotidal lagoon on the south coast of Portugal, with natural biogeochemical cycles essentially regulated by tidal exchanges at the seawater boundaries and at the sediment interface. Existing data on nutrients in the water column and the sediment, together with chlorophyll a and oxygen saturation in the water column, are compared using different models for assessing...

Assessment of methylmercury production in a temperate salt marsh (Ria de Aveiro Lagoon, Portugal).

‘Blue Carbon’ and Nutrient Stocks of Salt Marshes at a Temperate Coastal Lagoon (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal)

Ria de Aveiro is a mesotidal coastal lagoon with one of the largest continuous salt marshes in Europe. The objective of this work was to assess C, N and P stocks of Spartina maritima (low marsh pioneer halophyte) and Juncus maritimus (representative of mid-high marsh halophytes) combined with the contribution of Halimione portulacoides, Sarcocornia perennis, and Bolbochenous maritimus to the la...

Implementation and assessment of hydrodynamic, salt and heat transport models: The case of Ria de Aveiro Lagoon (Portugal)

Ria de Aveiro is a shallow coastal lagoon located in the Northwest coast of Portugal. The implementation and the assessment (calibration and validation) of the hydrodynamic, salt and heat transport models for Ria de Aveiro lagoon is presented. During the calibration the models parameters were adjusted to give the best fit of the model results to the field data. The hydrodynamic model calibratio...
