The role of these environments has always been seen as
essential in modulating the interaction between catchment area
and coastal waters. This is also the case with the Lagoon of Lesina,
thanks to various qualitative and quantitative mechanisms linked
to the different types of forcing factors affecting the system. In
addition, the geomorphological characteristics of the lagoon
modulate the equilibrium between energy flows, matter inputs and
the mechanisms governing the system’s internal processes
