The study of plumes occurring at the mouth of small rivers of temporal flow is a challenging task due to the lack of sedimentological and flow data of appropriate spatiotemporal scales. The present contribution examined the case of a typical un-gauged in...

River valleys are known to be of high natural value; however, they are exposed to a strong human influence. Anthropogenic changes are evident in the structure and species composition of plant assemblages; therefore, vegetation is a very good indicator of...

Protecting the quality of coastal water bodies requires the assessment of contaminant discharge brought by rivers. Numerous methods have been proposed for calculating sediment and nutrient loads. The most widely used and generally recommended are the flo...

Climate change projections predict the increase of no-rain periods and storm intensity resulting in high hydrologic alteration of the Mediterranean rivers. Intermittent flow Rivers and Ephemeral Streams (IRES) are particularly vulnerable to spatiotempora...

The release of plastics in freshwater is an increasing concern for ecosystem safety worldwide. There is a large knowledge gap on plastic pollution in Mediterranean freshwater, especially regarding surveys along entire river courses, partly due to the abs...

Plastic debris occurring in freshwater environments, which can either come from the surrounding terrestrial areas or transported from upstream, has been identified as one of the main sources and routes of plastic pollution in marine systems. The ocean is...

This paper evaluates the response of streamflow in a Mediterranean medium-scaled basin under land-use and climate change scenarios and its plausible implication on the management of Boadella?Darnius reservoir (NE Spain). Land cover and climate change sce...

The abundance and distribution of microplastics (MP) were evaluated in six ?clean? sites (Italian minor islands) and in two ?polluted? areas (near the mouth of two major Italian rivers). Samples of MP, plankton and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) we...

Variability in flow as a result of seasonal precipitation patterns is a defining element of streams and rivers in Mediterranean-climate regions of the world and strongly influences the biota of these unique systems. Mediterranean-climate areas include th...
