Macroalgae is one of the Biological Quality Elements (BQE) used by several indexes conceived in the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) for the assessment of the Ecological status of coastal water bodies. Among them, CARLIT index, based on the cartography of rocky-shore littoral communities, has been extensively and successfully applied in...
A conceptual model was constructed for the functioning the algae-dominated rocky reef ecosystem of the Med-iterranean Sea. The Ecosystem-Based Quality Index (reef-EBQI) is based upon this model. This index meets the objectives of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive. It is based upon (i) the weighting of each compartment , according to...
Coralligenous outcrops are a Mediterranean sciaphilic habitat whose three-dimensionally layered communities develop on a basal biogenic concretion of calcareous red algae, along with a rich assemblage of sciaphilic sessile animals. The complexity of the evaluation of the ecological status of coralligenous is on a par with the complexity of this...
