Disentangling the effects of eutrophication and natural variability on macrobenthic communities across French coastal lagoons by Jones, Auriane G., Schaal, Gauthier, Boyé, Aurélien, Creemers, Marie, Derolez, Valérie, Desroy, Nicolas, Fiandrino, Annie, Mouton, Théophile L., Simier, Monique, Smith, Niamh, Ouisse, Vincent

“…Using correlograms, linear models and variance partitioning, we found that lagoon hydro-morphology (connection to the sea and lagoon surface), which affects the level of environmental variability (salinity and temperature), as well as lagoon-scale benthic habitat diversity (using macrophyte morphotypes) seemed to regulate macrofauna distribution, while eutrophication and associated stressors like low dissolved oxygen, acted upon the existing communities, mainly by reducing species richness and diversity. …”
