Assessment of the ecological status of two Black Sea areas using elemental contaminant concentrations and biochemical parameters in tissues of the blunt-snouted mullet Mullus ponticus Essipov, 1927

This study aimed to compare tissue trace-element concentrations and hepatic biochemical biomarkers in blunt-snouted mullet Mullus ponticus from two Black Sea coastal areas, Sevastopol and Adler. Fish were collected in December 2021. Separate trace-element and biochemical datasets...

Marine Benthic Cyanobacteria as Potential Bioresources for Rare Earth Element Management: Insights from Lanthanum Bioaccumulation and Strain-Specific Physiological Responses

Marine cyanobacteria represent a promising but underexplored bioresource for rare earth element (REE) management. This study investigated the effects of lanthanum (La, 10 mg L−1) on four cyanobacterial strains isolated from Black Sea periphyton: Desertifilum tharense AqMaPh-IBSS-...

Estimation of Gross Primary Production and Net Primary Production of Vegetation Cover for Low Mountain Sub-Mediterranean Landscapes Using Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Modeling

Terrestrial vegetation cover is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, annually assimilating a substantial fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, regional estimates of gross primary production (GPP) and net primary production (NPP) remain insufficiently studi...
