Benthic ecosystems
Benthic ecosystems
This research line focuses on comprehensively determining the role of benthic organisms in matter and energy flows within coastal marine environments. Particular emphasis is placed on shallow areas, such as the inner bay of Cádiz, given its ecological and geographical relevance to our region. Key aspects of study include:
- Microbenthic ecology.
- Ecophysiology of aquatic primary producers (macroalgae and aquatic phanerogams).
- Growth models for phanerogams.
- Models of ecophysiological processes of benthic organisms.
