| Zusammenfassung |
| Wetlands and coastal lagoons in Mediterranean areas have recently been the focus of an
increasing interest due to the degradation of their ecological status in terms of declining
biodiversity, alteration of ecological functioning and limitation of the ecosystem services they
provide. Accordingly, the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Union has set, as one of
its priorities, to prevent a further degradation of these ecosystems and to recover their
ecological functioning. The aim of this project is to analyze the hydrogeological
dynamics in the Pletera coastal lagoons (NE, Spain) as a basis to propose guidelines for
their sustainable management. Thus, monthly hydrochemical (with major ions,
nutrients and tracers) and isotopic (δ18OH2O and δD) campaigns have been conducted,
from November 2014 to October 2015, to determine the hydrogeological dynamics
of the Pletera lagoons. In addition, in some of the sampling campaigns δ34SSO4,
δ18OSO4, δ15NNO3 and δ18ONO3 have also been analyzed to determine the origin of
eutrophication problems observed in these lagoons, mainly caused by nitrogen
compounds.
