TL;DR: A review of studies on long term series on river discharges, oceanographic features, plankton, fish and benthic compartments, collected since the 1970s revealed significant changes of mechanisms and trophic structures in the northern Adriatic ecosystems as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a four-decadal data set was analyzed to gain a better perspective of phytoplankton driving pressures in the northern Adriatic, where an observed regime shift in the system had altered the phyto-ankton abundance, community composition and seasonal cycle.

TL;DR: The nutrient discharges and DIN/PO4 ratios in the freshened surface layer were much higher and more variable in the period before the mucilage event in 2001 than in 2000 and particularly in 2002, although intensity and duration of the 2001 event were the lowest.

TL;DR: In this article, meteorological and oceanographic conditions in the northern Adriatic Sea (NA) during the period June 1999-July 2002 are described and their relation to the outbreak and fate of the mucilage phenomenon was investigated.

TL;DR: An exploration of historical data suggested that eutrophication patterns might drive long-term fluctuations in Cystoseira populations along the west Istrian Coast (northern Adriatic Sea, Croatia), whose abundances from 2009 to 2013 were similar to those characterising the most flourishing Mediterranean CyStoseira assemblages.
