Project in brief It is a general assumption that benthic communities* are relatively well preserved in areas exploited mostly by artisanal fleets. The richness of these communities depends on the presence of so-called ecosystem engineer species (corals, sponges or sea grasses), which provide a three-dimensional habitat structure and significantly increase biodiversity and productivity creating bre ...

Diffusion of nanotechnology based devices for water treatment and recycling (NANOWAT)

Start date: Mar 19, 2012, End date: Mar 19, 2015,

Most of the Mediterranean countries suffer from water shortage due to both increasing demand and declining water quality. Rivers, lakes, groundwater resources and the sea have become more and more polluted by agrochemicals and other potentially toxic substances resulting from intense agricultural and industrial activities. Besides the necessary efforts to be undertaken to reduce water consumption, ...

Environmental quality and pressures assessment across Europe: the LTER network as an integrated and shared system for ecosystem monitoring (EnvEurope)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Background A vast amount environmental data is currently collected across Europe, both at national and international level, generating valuable information for policy makers and citizens. However, much of this information is not readily comparable, posing a major obstacle to the development of well-informed environmental policies and strategies at Europea ...
