The Mar Piccolo is a semi-enclosed basin subject to different natural and anthropogenic stressors. In order to better understand plankton dynamics and preferential carbon pathways within the planktonic trophic web, an integrated approach was adopted for the first time by examining all trophic levels (virioplankton, the heterotrophic and phototrophic fractions of pico-, nano- and microplankton, as well as mesozooplankton). Plankton abundance and biomass were investigated during four surveys in the period 2013–2014. Beside unveiling the dynamics of different plankton groups in the Mar Piccolo, the study revealed that high portion of the plankton carbon (C) pool was constituted by small-sized (<2 μm) planktonic fractions. The prevalence of small-sized species within micro- and mesozooplankton communities was observed as well. The succession of planktonic communities was clearly driven by the seasonality, i.e. by the nutrient availability and physical features of the water column. Our hypothesis is that beside the ‘bottom-up’ control and the grazing pressure, inferred from the C pools of different plankton groups, the presence of mussel farms in the Mar Piccolo exerts a profound impact on plankton communities, not only due to the important sequestration of the plankton biomass but also by strongly influencing its structure. 相似文献

Background, Aim and Scope Analysis of the morphological, geological and environmental characteristics of the Sarno River basin has shown the present
degraded condition of the area. Over the past thirty years, the supply of untreated effluent of domestic, agricultural and
industrial origin has ensured the presence of high concentrations of pollutants, including heavy metals. The geological context
of the catchment area has played a major part in determining the current ecological conditions and public health problems:
while human activity has modified the landscape, the natural order has indirectly contributed to increasing the environmental
impact.
Results and Discussion The health situation is precarious as the basin's inhabitants feed on agricultural and animal products, and use polluted
water directly or indirectly. The hazard of contracting degenerative illnesses of the digestive or respiratory apparatus,
bacterial infections or some neoplasia has gradually increased, especially in the last five years. Moreover, polluted basin
waters flowing into the Bay of Naples increase sea water contamination, thereby damaging tourism, public health and degrading
the local littoral quality.
Conclusion The overview presented shows how the environmental state of the Sarno River basin gives considerable cause for concern. The
basin's complex geomorphologic setting has a direct bearing on local environmental and health conditions. The analysis of
the available data demonstrates how the physical aspects of the area are closely linked to the diffusion and concentration
of the pollutants, and how the latter ones have a large influence on the hygienic-sanitary conditions of the local population.
Recommendation and Perspective Specific interventions need to be undertaken to monitor and improve the chemical, physical and microbiological conditions
of water and sediments, especially in light of the geomorphological vulnerability of the river basin. 相似文献

This study shows for the first time a chemical and morphological characterization of agricultural aerosols released during three important agricultural operations: threshing, plowing and sowing. The field campaigns were carried out in the eastern part of the Po Valley, Italy, in summer and autumn 2009. The aerosol particles were sampled on quartz fiber filters and polytetrafluoroethylene membranes in order to allow Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with an Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (SEM-EDS) investigations, respectively. The organic carbon mass concentrations were measured with a Sunset Laboratory Dual-Optical Organic Carbone/Elemental Carbon (OCEC) Aerosol analyzer. The morphological and chemical analyses by SEM-EDS allowed recognizing four main particle classes: organic, silica, calcite and clay minerals. The organic particles contribute to both fine and coarse aerosol fractions up to ca. 50% for all three agricultural activities. This was also confirmed by OCEC analysis for fine fraction. Most of the agricultural aerosols, about 60%, were single particles and the remaining 40% were agglomerations of particles. The ICP-MS results showed that threshing and plowing produce more aerosol particles than sowing, which was characterized by important amounts of clay minerals produced from land soils. 相似文献
