Effects of Species Introduction on Aquatic Communities
Freshwater ecosystems are deeply affected by human pressure, such as species introduction, which remains a major concern for these ecosystems. The arrival of new species can have different ecological effects, and sometimes leads to biological…
Food Chains and Food Webs in Aquatic Ecosystems
Food webs describe the structure of communities and their energy flows, and they represent interactions between species in ecosystems. Recently, we have witnessed rapid development of techniques for both experimental studies and…
Hydrology-Shaped Plant Communities: Diversity and Ecological Function
Aquatic ecosystems and the water they hold have attracted people over the centuries. With the technological development and increasing needs of human society, the attitude to water and aquatic ecosystems has changed. Consequently, biodiversity of…
Marine Renewable Energy
The topic “Marine Renewable Energy” brings together four MDPI journals, Energies, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Inventions, and Processes, with 51 papers published. The present reprint includes a selection of 26 significant scientific…
Mercury and Methylmercury Contamination of Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems
This Special Issue aims to provide new insights into the issue of the mercury contamination of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This ubiquitous contaminant has been used by humans for many years, resulting in global contamination. When this toxic…
Microplastics in Aquatic Environments
The large production and widespread daily consumption of plastic materials which began in the last century, together with the often inadequate collection and recycling systems, have made plastics and, consequently, microplastics (MPs) ubiquitous…
Natural Gas Hydrate and Deep-Water Hydrocarbon Exploration
This reprint is a comprehensive compilation of both new discoveries and methods related to nature hydrate and deep-water hydrocarbon. This reprint contains the advanced methods used in natural gas hydrate and deep-water hydrocarbon exploration. Its…
Removal of Pharmaceuticals from Water: Conventional and Alternative Treatments
Pharmaceuticals represent an especially worrying class of micropollutants because they are biologically active. Thus, their occurrence in aquatic environments may cause undesirable effects in living organisms and, if present in water sources for…
Sea, River, Lake Ice Properties and Their Applications in Practices
This reprint covers topics on geographical scale of glacier and lake ice variations, as well as the engineering scale of ice properties and their practical applications via laboratory tests and numerical modeling.
