GLI EFFETTI DELLA MUCILLAGINE DELLA MICROALGA INVASIVA CHRYSOPHAEUM TAYLORII LEWIS & BRYAN (PELAGOPHYCEAE) SULLA RESILIENZA DELLE MACROALGHE AL DISTURBO MECCANICO

Abstract - In the summer of 2014, a manipulative field experiment was conducted in Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area (North eastern Sardinia) in order to investigate the effects of a mucilaginous bloom of the invasive microalga Chrysophaeum taylorii Lewis & Bryan (Pelagophyceae)...
