| Abstract: | Capoterra Pond in southern Sardinia is described and analyzed with respect to its morphological, meteorological, physical
and chemical characteristics, and its zoobenthic, zooplankton, and phytoplankton biocenoses. The birdlife, flora, and riparian
associations of vegetation are studied in order to draw international attention to the importance of this lagoon, the precariousness
of its ecosystem, the seriousness of current attempts to destabilize it, and the need to encourage the Sardinian authorities
to initiate conservation measures, especially as rare birds have found their niches there. |
