Impact of penetrative solar radiation on the diagnosis of water mass transformation in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2008
We applied a revised diagnosis of water mass formation and mixing to a 1/8° resolution ocean model of the Mediterranean Sea. The diagnosis method used and presented by Iudicone et al. (2008) is similar to that developed by Walin (1982) and applied to the Mediterranean Sea by Tziperman and Speer (1994), to which we added a penetrative solar radiation ...

Greenwashing in the Spotlight: Synthesising Evidence on Unethical Environmental Claims and Future Pathways

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are experiencing mounting pressure to report their environmental impact. Rather than disclosing their actual performance, however, some are engaging in unethical business (i.e., greenwashing) practices. Prior studies have contributed significantly to the greenwashing literature from varied perspectives, but a comprehensive understanding ...

Recruiting at the edge: kinetic energy inhibits anchovy populations in the western Mediterranean. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The Strait of Gibraltar replenishes the Mediterranean with Atlantic waters through an intense eastward current known as the Atlantic Jet (AJ). The AJ fertilizes the southwestern Mediterranean and is considered to be the ultimate factor responsible for ...

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...

On the relationship between the water mass pathways and eddy variability in the Western Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2007
The role of eddies on the formation and spreading of water masses in the Western Mediterranean Sea is studied with an ocean general circulation model. The model is forced with interannually variable surface forcing for the years from 1979 to 1999. It is found that the model reproduces the major features of the observed mesoscale variability in the Gulf

Phylogenetic structure of conifers in regional floras in relation to climate and environmental heterogeneity worldwide

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite having only about 670 species worldwide, conifers are one of the ecologically and economically most important plant groups. They have a rich fossil record and previous studies have shown that their current diversity is the result of past radiations, extinction, and dispersal events, restricting many genera to either the Northern or Southern ...

Linking species distribution models with population abundance to support adaptive fisheries management

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how environmental variability structures essential fish habitat (EFH) is central to managing keystone populations in dynamic marine ecosystems. Using nearly three decades of standardized survey data (1994–2021) from the Adriatic Sea, we present the first basin‐scale, process‐based framework linking estimated habitat suitability and ...

Characterization of the spawning area of tuna species on the northern Tunisian coasts

Scientia Marina, 2016
Early life stages of tuna species were investigated along the northern coasts of Tunisia in the summer of 2010, from 7 to 14 July. A total of 74 stations, distributed on a regular grid, were sampled.

Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Decadal Trends in Buoyancy, Internal Modes and Horizontal Dynamics in the Northern Ionian Sea

Oceans
The Ionian Sea plays a crucial role as a crossroads for various Mediterranean water masses, making it a significant factor in the seawater budgets, biogeochemistry, and biodiversity of the subbasins of the Mediterranean Sea.
