Assessing coastal aquifer vulnerability to seawater intrusion using the "GALDIT" method: Application to the Dradère-Souiere coastal aquifer (Northern Morocco) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
In terms of land-use planning, and in an attempt to anticipate and preserve what can be preserved, the prevention of salinization of coastal aquifers is an important step to which researchers are devoting more and more effort, notably by studying their ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL OCEAN ACIDIFICATION VULNERABILITY INDEX (COAVI)

Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Environment Management
Coastal ocean acidification (COA), driven by rising atmospheric CO₂ levels and localized stressors such as eutrophication and freshwater inputs, poses significant risks to marine ecosystems, fisheries, and coastal communities. Despite its increasing impact, there is limited assessment of COA vulnerability at regional and local scales.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.
