Impacts of environmental factors on zooplankton taxonomic diversity in coastal lagoons in Turkey

tailieu.vn

Coastal lagoons are transitional zones between the landscape and the sea and are often considered as hotspots for biodiversity and usage for transportation, recreation, and food production (aquaculture) (Anthony et al., 2009).. Mediterranean coastal lagoons are strongly influenced by natural disturbances such as flooding and summer drought, which result in fluctuations of water temperature, salinity, and trophic state (Cataudella et...
