Factors Controlling Benthic Biogeochemistry in Urbanized Coastal Systems: an Example from Venice (Italy)
Benthic biogeochemical processes and their interactions are affected by multiple factors including organic matter load, season, and hydrology. We analyzed benthic biogeochemistry in two canals in the urban are...

Factors Affecting Dissolved Silica Concentrations, and DSi and DIN Stoichiometry in a Human Impacted Watershed (Po River, Italy)
Data on dissolved (DSi) and particulate (PSi) silica concentrations, along with DSi and DIN (dissolved inorganic nitrogen) stoichiometry in surface waters were reviewed for the Po river watershed. DSi in the c...

Short-term effect of oxic to anoxic transition on benthic microbial activity and solute fluxes in organic-rich phytotreatment ponds
Manipulative experiments to test the short-term effect of oxygen depletion events on microbial activity and benthic fluxes in organic-rich sediments were carried out in March and June 2004. Oxic–anoxic transit...

Benthic Fluxes of Oxygen, Ammonium and Nitrate and Coupled-uncoupled Denitrification Rates within Communities of Three Different Primary Producer Growth Forms
Inorganic nitrogen and oxygen fluxes together with coupled-uncoupled denitrification were studied in sediments covered by different primary producers (benthic microalgae, the floating macroalga Ulva rigida, and t...
