Cumulative Impact Index for the Adriatic Sea: Accounting for interactions among climate and anthropogenic pressures

Abstract: Editor: Damia BarceloAssessing and managing cumulative impacts produced by interactive anthropogenic and natural drivers is a major challenge to achieve the sustainable use of marine spaces in line with the objectives of relevant EU acquis. However, the complexity of the marine environment and the uncertainty linked to future climate and socioeconomic scenarios, represent major obstacles for understanding the multiplicity of impacts on the marine ecosystems and to identify appropriate management strategies to … Show more

“…It is likely that due to human activities, the seasonal temperature and salinity fluctuations may increase in the oncoming years [16]. The additional stress imposed on (not only) mollusks in the Northern Adriatic Sea is the prospect of the rising levels of the sea, increased sea temperatures, salinities and ocean acidification [46]. Coupled with overfishing, global warming might enable non-indigenous alien species to migrate into the Northern Adriatic, threatening to extinct local mollusk communities.…”

“…The impact of any changing environmental parameters and anthropogenic forcing remains to be accounted for. Advanced modellings are, therefore, needed to understand the cumulative effects of multiple risks on mangroves, and to predict their contextdependent response to climate change and other anthropogenic pressures (Furlan et al, 2019;Gilman et al, 2008).…”

“…On annual scale, freshwater input accounts for about one third of the total seawater volume of this marine region, whereas the discharge of riverine nutrients far exceeds their marine budget in the area [21][22][23]. Consequently, parts of this region are among the most productive areas in the Mediterranean [24,25].…”
