SEDIMENTOS URBANOS: AMBIENTE E ÁGUA
Os sedimentos urbanos são considerados, atualmente, como a maior fonte de poluição difusa para os corpos de água em áreas urbanas devido ao transporte de metais pesados e outros poluentes. Metais pesados são considerados potencialmente perigosos devido ao seu potencial tóxico e bio-acumulativo, ainda que em pequenas concentrações.

Numerous factors may affect the pattern of distribution of benthic fauna in a river mouth region and, among the macroinvertebrates, Chironomidae and Oligochaeta are the most abundant groups and most tolerant to environmental changes. Aim The aim of this

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Abstract The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in rivers is influenced by carbonate weathering, soil CO2, photosynthesis, and the mineralization of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). In tropical regions, elevated temperatures intensify these processes. However, their seasonal dynamics remain poorly understood in large karst‐draining rivers.

Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.

Monitoring mosaic biotopes in a marine conservation zone by autonomous underwater vehicle
Abstract The number of marine protected areas (MPAs) has increased dramatically in the last decade and poses a major logistic challenge for conservation practitioners in terms of spatial extent and the multiplicity of habitats and biotopes that now require assessment. Photographic assessment by autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) enables the consistent

Abstract Peatlands store large amounts of carbon (C), a function potentially threatened by climate change. Peatlands composed of vascular cushion plants are widespread in the northern and central high Andes (páramo, wet and dry puna), but their C dynamics are hardly known.

AIM: The Sinos River, a tributary of Guaíba Lake, is 200 km long from the headwaters to the mouth and is influenced by several sources of pollution. A study to learn more about conditions in this river was performed in the middle and lower reaches.

Abstract Ephemeral streams in dry environments can convey high intensity sediment‐laden flash floods. The study of these events is quite difficult due to remote locations with limited accessibility, unexpected events, rough weather conditions and safety concerns.
