The influence of major rivers discharges on physical and biological

Land-originated inflows, carrying fresh, nutrient-rich water can be often defined as the factor responsible for creating new physical and biochemical conditions, which in turn can create more or less favor ...

Impacts of Global Climate Changes on Caribbean

Climatic effects are superimposed upon, and interact with, several ecosystem stresses: excess nutrient loads, over-fishing, invasive species, habitat destruction, toxic chemical contamination (Scavia et al., 2000). These have important socio-economic implications for the Caribbean. Key drivers of cl ...
