The relative amount of terrestrial organic 5 matter in the marine sediments is often determined by analyzing the stable isotopes Biogeochemical 13 15 (δ C and δ N) and the C/N ratio of organic matter because the various particulate characterization of organic matter (POM) sources have distinct isotopic compositions. With the objective the riverine organic to refine and better interpret POM sources in the marine environment, we have monthly matter characterized terrestrial POM delivered by eight rivers discharging to the NW Mediter- 10 ranean Sea: Rhone,ˆ Herault,´ Orb, Aude, Tet,ˆ Fluvia,` Ter and Tordera rivers. These M. Higueras et al. rivers were simultaneously sampled from November 2008 to December 2009 and the concentrations of total suspended matter (TSM), particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PN), as well as their stable isotopic ratios (δ13C and δ15N) were determined. Title Page During the survey, three rainstorm events with winds coming from the E–NE and Abstract Introduction 15 the S–SE impacted the NW Mediterranean.

In addition, the spatial evolution of water discharges shows different hydro- J I logical regime of the Rhoneˆ River, with relatively constant and high water stages and TSM concentrations when compared to coastal rivers, characterized by long periods Back Close of low water stages.

TSM in most of the coastal rivers have in av- erage 2.5–3 times higher POC and PN mean contents than the Rhoneˆ River (8.5 % Interactive Discussion 13278 Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | and 1.5 %, respectively for coastal rivers against 3.6 % and 0.5 %, respectively for the Rhoneˆ River). This discrepancy may be caused by the long drought periods in small BGD coastal Mediterranean watersheds that enhance the eutrophication in studied coastal 10, 13277–13316, 2013 rivers. The δ13C ratios of organic matter reflect also this discrepancy between high 13 5 and low water stages with values ranging from −33.2 ‰ to −24.5 ‰. The enriched C values (−26.3 ± 0.4 ‰ for the Rhoneˆ River and −26.9 ± 1.2 ‰ for coastal rivers), mea- Biogeochemical sured during high water stages, express mostly a mixture of terrestrial source (plant characterization of remains and soils) whereas depleted 13C values (∼ −30 ‰) associated with low water the riverine organic stages exhibit a source with predominant freshwater algae.

These inputs are highly variable over time, shifting from low river discharges J I and low sediment inputs to the occurrence of flood events with high sediment supplies J I 20 (Wheatcroft and Borgeld, 2000). Numerous studies have documented the delivery of sediments to the ocean Back Close from large rivers such as the Amazon (e.g., Nittrouer and DeMaster, 1996), Yellow (Huanghe) (Liu et al., 2002, 2004), Ganges-Brahmaputra (Goodbred and Kuehl, 2000; Full Screen / Esc Kuehl et al., 1997), and Yangtze (Changjiang) (Chen et al., 2001; Liu et al., 2007). 25 However, Milliman and Syvitski (1992) emphasized the importance of smaller rivers Printer-friendly Version (< 5000 km2) and speculated that they may account for as much as half of the present- Interactive Discussion day sediment flux to the oceans. 13279 Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | Discussion Paper | River inputs play a major role in the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea, because changes in their inputs are therefore potential drivers for long-term changes in the BGD marine ecosystems (Ludwig et al., 2009). Recent studies have shown that freshwater 10, 13277–13316, 2013 discharges by Mediterranean rivers decreased significantly from about 20 % between 5 1960 and 2000 (Ludwig et al., 2009). This reduction is probably the result of several stress factors including climate change and dam construction (Ludwig et al., 2003). Biogeochemical First, the increase of temperature during the 20th century, in particular since the late characterization of 1970’s (Gulf of Lion: 0.5 ◦Cdecade−1 for 1979–2004; Lespinas et al., 2010) and the the riverine organic decrease of precipitation during certain periods of the year in the upstream water- matter 10 sheds may cause a significant water discharge reduction (Lopez-Moreno´ et al., 2008; Lespinas et al., 2010). Second, rivers are highly affected by the artificial river damming M. Higueras et al. often related to water extractions for irrigation (Ludwig et al., 2003) which alter the nat- ural functioning of Mediterranean rivers. The Nile River is a clear evidence of this, with Title Page a decrease from 40–45 to 15 km3 of freshwater discharge to the Mediterranean Sea 15 after building the Aswan High Dam in 1964 (Schroeder et al., 2012).

  • As Indicators of Habitat Quality in Mediterranean Streams and Rivers in the Province of Barcelona (Catalonia, Iberian Peninsula)
    International Journal of Odonatology, 2016 Vol. 19, No. 3, 107–124, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13887890.2016.1172991 Dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata) as indicators of habitat quality in Mediterranean streams and rivers in the province of Barcelona (Catalonia, Iberian Peninsula) Ricard Martín∗ and Xavier Maynou Catalan Odonata Study Group, Institució Catalana d’Història Natural, Barcelona, Spain (Received 7 November 2015; final version received 24 March 2016) In a field study carried out in 2011 and 2014 adult dragonflies were identified as a rapid and easy-to-use means of assessing habitat quality and biological integrity of Mediterranean streams and rivers in the province of Barcelona (Region Catalonia, Iberian Peninsula). The study included sampling sites from five different river catchments: Besòs, Foix, Llobregat, Ter and Tordera. Multivariate statistical procedures and indicator species analysis were used to investigate the relationship between river ecological status, study sites and dragonfly species or species assemblages’ occurrence. The dragonfly association identified with western Mediterranean permanent streams, i.e. Cordulegaster boltonii, Boyeria irene, Onychogom- phus uncatus and Calopteryx virgo meridionalis, was found only at the sites with the highest status. All these taxa were identified as indicator species of sites with the best scores for the macroinvertebrate based IBMWP index and for the combined IASPT index, which reflects the sensitivity of the macroinvertebrate families present to environmental changes; besides, B. irene and C. virgo meridionalis alsoprovedtobe indicator species of the riparian forest quality index and C. boltonii of the more inclusive ECOSTRIMED, which assesses the overall conservation status of the riverine habitats. The information obtained on habi- tat preferences and indicator value showed that adults of these taxa may constitute a valuable tool for preliminary or complementary cost-effective monitoring of river status and restoration practices as part of a broader set of indices reflecting biodiversity and ecosystem integrity.

  • Nitrogen Circulation in a Mediterranean Holm Oak Forest, La Castanya, Montseny, Northeastern Spain

Bulk inputs of inorganic N were moderate, with a mean of 5.7 kg N ha-1 yr-1, ranging between 4 and 10 kg N ha-1 yr-1 for the period 1983 to 2000. Dry deposition fluxes estimated from washing branches added about 9 kg N ha-1 yr-1 to wet inputs and the total atmospheric deposition was estimated in 15 kg N -1 -1 + - ha yr . Despite this substantial input flux, nearly all the inorganic nitrogen was retained within the forest ecosystem: NH4 and NO3 + - concentrations decreased dramatically as water crossed the canopy and the soil profile. In the stream, at baseflow conditions, NH4 and NO3 µ -1 - concentrations were always below the analytical detection limit (< 2 eq L ). Only briefly during peak flows did NO3 concentrations increase up to 100 µeq L-1. Averaged over 10 years (1984-1994), the export of N at the catchment outlet was 0.05 kg N ha-1 yr-1. This indicates a very tight N cycling allowing for an increase of N availability in these undisturbed forest ecosystems.
