“…The decomposition rates (k) of Phragmites australis leaf litter determined in the present study (k = 0.0066−0.0075 days −1 in autumn; k = 0.0108−0.0158 days −1 in spring; k = 0.0168 days −1 in summer) for a large temporary pond of the Isonzo River Mouth Reserve are consistent with literature data (Table 4) (Sangiorgio et al, 2008a) and experimental conditions, such as different types of leaf bags mesh size (Bedford, 2005;Quintino et al, 2009). The results of the present work highlight the following points: (i) temporal patterns of reed decomposition were observed, resulting in a clearly defined cycle; (ii) a high percentage of the variability in reed decomposition within the studied pond is explained by rainfall and, to a lesser extent, by water temperature and conductivity.…”

“…In the pond under exam, water conductivity reflects salinity levels which could negatively influence P. australis processing (Mendelsshon et al, 1999;Sangiorgio et al, 2008a) and this effect could likely be mediated by the activity of microorganisms and benthic macroinvertebrates (Quintino et al, 2009). Several studies showed that increasing salinity correspond to decreasing microorganism activity (van Bruggen and Semenov, 2000;Rietz and Haynes, 2003;Sardinha et al, 2003;Muhammad et al, 2006;Wichern et al, 2006).…”

“…Ces dernières, en plus des paramètres biotiques et abiotiques liés au milieu, influencent le temps de transformation vers leur produit de dégradation. L'étude de la cinétique de dégrada-tion des feuilles, basée sur la technique litter-bag (Chauvet, 1987 ;Gessner & Chauvet, 2002 ;Gessner et al, 1999 ;Lecerf et al, 2007 ;Lopes et al, 2011 ;Mateo & Romero, 1996 ;Montemayor et al, 2011 ;Quintino et al, 2009 ;Sangiorgio et al, 2008) a été conduite pour la première fois dans un estuaire macrotidal hyper-turbide (Fuentes-Cid et al, 2013) en vue de comprendre comment le matériel foliaire transféré des bassins versants réagit dans un environnement spécifique et fluctuant tel que le système fluvio-estuarien de la Gironde (présence du bouchon vaseux et de forts courants des eaux).…”

“…We have applied the litter-bag technique, a common measure of functional integrity in streams (Death, Dewson, & James, 2009;Gessner & Chauvet, 2002;Sandin & Solimini, 2009), because decomposition rates are supposed to reflect changes in the environment (Graça, 1993). However, there are only a few studies that have been carried out using this method in transitional aquatic ecosystems (Lopes, Martins, Ricardo, & Rodrigues, 2011;Quintino et al, 2009;Sangiorgio et al, 2008). Here, we describe the first results of an in situ degradation experiment in a highly turbid estuarine system.…”
