TL;DR: In the long term, sustained eutrophication of this estuary is expected to lead to complete replacement of seagrass habitat by unvegetated coarser sediments, occasionally covered by green macroalgal blooms and dominated by opportunistic invertebrate taxa.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate the available information to provide a theoretical interpretation of the recent physicochemical and biological changes in the Mondego estuarine ecosystem, which will be further used as basic framework for the development of a structurally dynamic model.

TL;DR: For a better understanding of the phosphorus dynamics and bioavailability in temperate climates, sequential chemical extraction techniques were used to study sediment P-pools distribution and relative importance in a eutrophicated estuary as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The resilience of the populations may have been lowered by a prior disturbance history (eutrophication) and consequent interactions of multiple stressors, as shown by a drastic reduction of annual production not seen before the implementation of mitigation measures.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of mitigation measures implemented in 1998 was evaluated using precipitation and salinity data in relation to the concentrations of dissolved inorganic nutrients, as well as the linkage between dissolved N:P ratios and the biological parameters (phytoplankton chlorophyll a concentrations, green macroalgal biomass and seagrass biomass).
