Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of contamination by heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons in sediments of Montevideo Harbour (Uruguay)
Pablo Muniz,Eva Danulat,Beatriz Yannicelli,Javier García-Alonso,Gabriela Medina,Márcia Caruso Bícego +5 more
TL;DR: Principal components analysis confirmed that the inner harbour region is most severely affected by the pollutants and it was possible to differentiate three regions according to their environmental quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the applicability of a Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) to assessing the ecological quality of soft-bottom benthic communities, in the South America Atlantic region
Pablo Muniz,Natalia Venturini,Ana Maria Setúbal Pires-Vanin,Luiz Roberto Tommasi,Ángel Borja +4 more
TL;DR: The applicability of the AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) is tested, to establish the benthic health of the ecosystem using these data sets, and its general applicability to new geographical locations is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution of organic matter in the surface sediments of Ubatuba Bay (Southeastern - Brazil)
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of organic matter content, organic carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and granulometric variables were performed on 101 surface sediment samples from Ubatuba Bay in order to investigate the spatial distribution of organic material, its origin and the relationships among its components.
Journal ArticleDOI
First assessment of the highly contaminated harbour of Montevideo, Uruguay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foraminiferal responses to polluted sediments in the Montevideo coastal zone, Uruguay
TL;DR: Differences among foraminiferal assemblages seemed to be related to the combined action of the several kinds of pollutants and the natural abiotic variables, like the rapid salinity changes that occurred in this area.
