In freshwater systems, sediment can be an important source for the internal loading of PO. The limiting character of this element in such system leads to consider this phenomenon in terms of eutrophication risks and water quality stakes. A four-months follow-up (January, March, April and May 2019) was carried out in a strong phosphate (PO) limited secondary channel from an artificial irrigation system of Charente Maritime (France) to link the mobilization of remineralization products in the upper 6 cm layer of sediment (conventional core slicing/centrifugation and DET probes) and the phytoplankton biomass dynamics in the water column.

The increase in extreme events such as storms is one of the major threats that coastal ecosystems will have to face in the near future. In such a context, both maturation and ecological successions processes remain at the core of ecology to better anticipate the changes to ecosystem biodiversity and functions facing environmental stressors. However, these concepts are mainly approached through closed experimental studies that oversimplify the mechanisms.

The functional diversity of two planktonic functional compartments, the nano-microphytoplankton and the mesozooplankton was used in order to better understand i) the drained marshes functioning and their related ecological functions, ii) the impacts of human control (replenishment) and human activities on the catchment basin (urbanization and catchment basin size). It was based on a monthly seasonal survey on 7 freshwater drained marshes. Both nano-microphyto- and mesozooplankton displayed high seasonal variations linked to the environmental fluctuations and human control on sea lock gates.
