Sediment grain size and hydrodynamics in Mediterranean coastal lagoons: Integrated classification of abiotic parameters
Integrated classification maps were produced by combining sediment grain-size and hydrological data (water renewal time, WRT) from two Mediterranean lagoons, Lesina (LL) and Varano (LV), Italy. The geophysical...
