Multi-biomarker responses of Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (bivalvia, corbiculi...
Parra, S; Varandas, S; Santos, D; Félix, LM; Fernandes, L; Cabecinha, E; Gago, J; Monteiro, SMOne of the most widespread aquatic organisms in the rivers and estuarine ecosystems, in the world, is Asian clam Corbicula fluminea. This clam, that can adapt to environmental changes, is an invasive species in several areas and it was adopted as a model for toxicity tests. This study evaluated the effects of the exposure to cadmium (Cd), to microplastics (MPs) and their mixtures on C. fluminea. The oxidative s...
A predictive modelling tool for assessing climate, land use and hydrological ch...
Samantha, J. H; Cabecinha, E; Andrade dos Santos, J.C.; Mendes Lopes, D.M.; da Fonseca Trindade, H.M.; dos Santos Cabral, J. A. F. A.Reservoirs are fundamental for water and energy supply but vulnerable to impacts including climate change. This paper outlines the steps in the development of a model to predict how climate, land use and hydrological change could affect the physiochemical and ecological quality of reservoirs in Portugal’s Douro region. Climatic data will be downscaled for subsequent finer spatial scale models to develop scenari...
