LaguNet is a scientific observational network studying the fluxes of nutrients and other contaminants from lagoon catchments to the near coastal environment. The objectives of LaguNet are to support and encourage co-operation of research groups studying lagoons, wetlands and saltmash systems situated along the Italian coast and to evaluate the application of the LOICZ (Land Ocean Interactions in Coastal Zones, a core project of IGBP) biogeochemical flux model and typology classification to such sites. |
