Currently, there is no research into the impact of meteotsunami on coastal ecosystems such as saltmarshes, despite the significant role saltmarsh play in providing vital habitats for resident and migrating birds, natural flood defences and climate mitigation.

An assessment of the vegetation pre and post event was undertaken using high resolution satellite imagery and the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Results revealed that the 2016 meteotsunami exacted minimal vegetation change with a decrease in NDVI from 0.26 to 0.23 and a temporary reduction in coverage of 40 %, suggesting a potential resilience to single episodic disturbances. In contrast, the 2021 event, compounded by multiple significant storms and additional meteotsunami, led to a decline in NDVI values from 0.44 to 0.22 and a temporary reduction in vegetation coverage of 66 %. Both events indicated a short-term disruption with a relatively rapid rebound (within one to three months).

Despite their significance, the geographical distribution of elemental loads in rivers has not received an extensive research attention. The complex biogeochemical processes governing elemental cycling in rivers, estuaries, and oceans are linked to the presence of organic matter. Here we determined the contents of sand, fine sediment fraction (&lt;75 μm), organic carbon (OC), biogenic silica (BSi) and reactive iron (Fe_R) in surface sediments of seven, Western Ghats-originated small rivers of Kerala, South India to understand the factors controlling accumulation and preservation of OC. Results indicated that the binding mechanisms of OC in sediments among the studied rivers are dissimilar, as they vary according to the specific environmental conditions of the depositional site. We found that approximately 50 % of OC was associated with fine sediment fraction in these rivers, indicating the source of OC exerts a strong control of OC accumulation in sediments. The interlaced relationships among OC, BSi, and Fe_R observed in riverine and estuarine sediments reveal the complexity of environmental factors that contributes to the varied correlation on the preservation of OC across the studied rivers. Additionally, we quantified the flux and stock of OC, BSi and Fe_R in these minor rivers and compared them to other rivers in India and world to highlight their global significance in biogeochemical cycles.

Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT; <em>Thunnus thynnus</em>), an ecologically important apex predator, has historically suffered from overexploitation. Conservation efforts have been implemented to mitigate its decline, leading to a recovery of its stock in recent years. In the western Mediterranean Sea, concerns have emerged among purse seine fishers regarding the potential impact of the resurgence of ABFT on sardine (<em>Sardina pilchardus</em>) and anchovy (<em>Engraulis encrasicolus</em>) populations, crucial prey for ABFT and the fishing industry, and currently overexploited or with low population biomass levels. This study investigates the trophic ecology of juvenile ABFT in the Gulf of Valencia, western Mediterranean Sea, across three periods: 1989, 2012–2014, and 2018–2019. Through a combination of stomach content analysis and stable isotope analysis, which complement each other, we aim at achieving a comprehensive understanding of the trophic ecology. ABFT's dietary preferences are revealed as flexible and opportunistic, encompassing a diversity of prey species, including fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans. Variations in the composition of the diet of juvenile ABFT can be attributed to fluctuations in the availability of prey, mainly due to a synergistic effect of overfishing and climate change. Likely in response to declining populations of sardine and anchovy, juvenile ABFT have changed their dietary habits, decreasing their consumption of these species and increasing their ingestion of horse mackerels (<em>Trachurus</em> spp.), another pelagic predatory fish present in the western Mediterranean Sea. Our data suggest that concerns of fishers regarding the consumption of sardine and anchovy by the increasing ABFT population are not supported, at least for juvenile individuals. Understanding the trophic relationships and feeding dynamics of ABFT has wider implications, and can provide insights into ecosystem resilience, predator-prey interactions, and adaptative responses to changing environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50497,"journal":{"name":"Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science","volume":"325 ","pages":"Article 109471"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
