Solar Salterns and Pollution: Valorization of Some Endemic Species as Sentinels in Ecotoxicology [PDF]
Toxics, 2023 Solar salterns and salt marshes are unique ecosystems with special physicochemical features and characteristic biota. Currently, there are very few studies focused on the impacts of pollution on these economic and ecological systems.
