Phytoplankton and environmental drivers at a long-term offshore station in the northern Adriatic Sea (1988-2018)

Francesca Neri et al.

Summary: This study analyzed a long-term (1988-2018) data set of phytoplankton and physico-chemical parameters in an offshore station of the LTER Senigallia-Susak transect. The study found that the annual cycle of phytoplankton in this area differed from that in coastal areas, with the highest abundance in June and the lowest in November. The main component of the phytoplankton community was phytoflagellates, and their abundance paralleled that of the total phytoplankton. The summer phytoplankton maximum was mainly explained by the allochthonous input of DIN and PO4 brought by low salinity waters.

A New Multi-Index Method for the Eutrophication Assessment in Transitional Waters: Large-Scale Implementation in Italian Lagoons

Andrea Bonometto et al.

Summary: Eutrophication is a significant threat to transitional waters and their ecosystem services, and its assessment is crucial for their management. A new multi-index method, incorporating ecological index, trophic index, and physicochemical quality elements, was developed to assess eutrophication, considering both driver and impact indicators. The method was successfully applied to over 100 Italian lagoon sites, revealing the status of eutrophication in these areas.

Pelagic primary production in the coastal Mediterranean Sea: variability, trends, and contribution to basin-scale budgets

Paula Maria Salgado-Hernanz et al.

Summary: We estimated the pelagic primary production in the coastal Mediterranean Sea and found that it contributes approximately 12% of the total carbon fixation in the region. The eastern basin has the highest production, followed by the western and Adriatic shelves. There is strong regional variability in coastal primary production, with some areas having high productivity associated with major river discharges and others having lower productivity in the southeastern Mediterranean. While interannual variations dominate the variability, a significant decline in primary production has been observed since 2012, coinciding with increasing sea surface temperatures and positive climate indices. Long-term trends show slight declines in most coastal areas except for the Adriatic, where primary production is increasing. The study emphasizes the importance of temporal and spatial scales of variability and provides insight into the contribution of coastal waters to the carbon balances in the Mediterranean Sea.

Habitat Shift for Plankton: The Living Side of Benthic-Pelagic Coupling in the Mar Piccolo of Taranto (Southern Italy, Ionian Sea)

Fernando Rubino et al.

Summary: Resting stages in marine environments play a crucial role in responding to environmental variability. The study at Mar Piccolo of Taranto revealed the importance of sediment cyst banks in perceiving the diversity of the ecosystem. Further life cycle studies are needed to understand the strategies adopted by plankton species.

Phytoplankton Dynamics and Water Quality in the Venice Lagoon

Fabrizio Bernardi Aubry et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the phytoplankton abundance and community structure in the Venice Lagoon over a 20-year period, finding distinct seasonal and inter-annual changes but no clear long-term trend. Water quality improved over time, highlighting the importance of long-term observations for understanding phytoplankton communities in the lagoon.

Integrative taxonomy of the Pseudo-nitzschia (Bacillariophyceae) populations in the NW Adriatic Sea, with a focus on a novel cryptic species in the P. delicatissima species complex

Sonia Giulietti et al.

Summary: Species of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia are common in the northern Adriatic Sea and during 2018-2019, six different taxa were identified through morphological and molecular analysis, with P. cf. arenysensis revealed as a cryptic species within the P. delicatissima complex. No domoic acid production was detected in the studied strains.

Ecology and seasonality of Pseudo-nitzschia species (Bacillariophyceae) in the northwestern Adriatic Sea over a 30-year period (1988-2020)

Sonia Giulietti et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the ecology and seasonality of Pseudo-nitzschia species at a coastal station in the Adriatic Sea from 1988 to 2020, revealing varying abundances and characteristics across different seasons. The DNA sequence data identified several cryptic and pseudo-cryptic species within the Pseudo-nitzschia genus, emphasizing the importance of combining genetic analysis with traditional microscopy in ecological investigations.
