Palavras-chave: | Estuaries; Eutrophication; Macrophytes; Nutrient dynamics | Data: | Jul-1999 | Editora: | Elsevier SAS | Citação: | Acta Oecologica. 20:4 (1999) 237-248 | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Acta Oecologica | Número: | 20:4 | Resumo: | Eutrophication of European estuaries due to massive nutrient loading from urban areas and diffuse runoff from extensively cultivated land areas is analysed. Consequences for the ecology of estuaries, namely changes in plant species composition, which also affects heterotrophic organisms, are approached based on examples showing that the result is often a fundamental structural change of the ecosystem, from a grazing and/or nutrient controlled stable systems to unstable detritus/mineralisation systems, where the turnover of oxygen and nutrients is much more dynamic and oscillations between aerobic and anaerobic states frequently occur. Several relevant aspects are examined, namely the influence of rooted macrophytes on nutrient dynamics, by comparing bare bottom sediments with eelgrass covered sediments, primary production and the development of organic detritus, and hydrodynamics and its relations to the spatial distribution of macrophytes in estuarine systems | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/13094 | ISSN: | 1146-609X | DOI: | 10.1016/S1146-609X(99)00142-3 | Direitos: | openAccess |
