Benthic prey quantity and quality in the main mudflat feeding areas of the Tagus Estuary: Implications for bird and fish populations
Estuaries are among the most productive environments in the coastal zone that may act as sink of pollutants. In this study we evaluated how levels of heavy metal contamination can be reflected in the macroinvertebrate communities of six Tagus Estuary mudflats, inferring their consequences to upper...
