DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUOUS, LINEAR MODELS FOR MARINE BENTHIC MACROPHYTES DESCRIPTION
(Corresponding) TZOUVARAS N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The European Water Framework Directive has fostered indicator development, pertinent to biological quality elements, for ecological status assessment of coastal waters. For seaweed communities, the CFR index considers composition, abundance and physiological status, through four constituents (...Read more

Linear Bivariate Expressions for Marine Benthic Macrophytes Ecological Status Description
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Regarding ecological status assessment with marine benthic macrophytic indicators as per European Water Framework Directive (WFD), linear models are being reviewed (either starting from discontinuous forms or modifying quadratic and algebraic forms). Through use of simple concepts, model...Read more

How to estimate biocide mass loads in urban water discharges and their impact on the river contamination?
(Corresponding) BRESSY A., PAIJENS C., TEDOLDI D., FRERE B., MAILLER R., ROCHER V., MOILLERON R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Biocidal substances are ubiquitous in urban areas; they are used as preservatives in daily products, building materials, and as domestic pesticides. Despite these facts, urban sources of biocides, contrary to agricultural inputs, have been overlooked in terms of environmental risk assessment. The...Read more
