Macrofauna in Mediterranean and Black Sea transitional aquatic ecosystems: A comparative study of the benthic populations sampled by box corer and leaf bags

This study compares the ethic macrofauna sampled with a box corer and the leaf bag technique, widely used to study plant detritus decomposition processes. The study was carried out in 10 transitional aquatic ecosystems located in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, covering a wide salinity range.
