    • North African wetland lakes: characterization of nine sites included in the CASSARINA Project 

      Ramdani, Mohammed; Flower, Roger J.; Elkhiati, Najat; Kraïem, Mohammed M.; Fathi, Adel A.; Birks, Hilary H.; Patrick, Simon T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)
      Exploitation of land and water resources has increased rapidly in North Africa during the 20th century, paralleling regional population growth. As part of the CASSARINA Project (see Flower, 2001), the environmental status ...
    • Open water zooplankton communities in North African wetland lakes: the CASSARINA Project 

      Ramdani, Mohammed; Elkhiati, Najat; Flower, Roger J.; Birks, Hilary H.; Kraïem, Mejdidine M.; Fathi, Adel A.; Patrick, Simon T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)
      Zooplankton (Copepoda, Cladocera, Ostracoda, Rotifera and Diptera larvae) in nine North African lakes was collected from open water areas over twenty months during 1997/99. The results were used to monitor changes in the ...
    • Palaeolimnological responses of nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project to recent environmental changes and human impact detected by plant macrofossil, pollen, and faunal analyses 

      Birks, Hilary H.; Peglar, Sylvia M.; Boomer, Ian; Flower, Roger J.; Ramdani, Mohammed; Appleby, P. G.; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth; Patrick, Simon T.; Kraïem, Mohammed M.; Fathi, Adel A.; Abdelzaher, H. M. A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)
      This paper presents multi-proxy palaeolimnological analyses from recent sediments in the nine CASSARINA lakes in northernmost Africa, three from each of Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt. The lakes are diverse, ranging from ...
    • Radiometrically determined dates and sedimentation rates for recent sediments in nine North African wetland lakes (the CASSARINA Project) 

      Appleby, P. G.; Birks, Hilary H.; Flower, Roger J.; Rose, Neil L.; Peglar, Sylvia M.; Ramdani, Mohammed; Kraïem, Mohammed M.; Fathi, Adel A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)
      Sediment cores were collected from nine wetland lakes in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt for the CASSARINA project investigating environmental change in Northern African wetlands. The cores were dated radiometrically by using ...
    • Recent ecosystem dynamics in nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project 

      Birks, Hilary H.; Flower, Roger J.; Peglar, Sylvia M.; Ramdani, Mohammed (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)
      An integrated multi-disciplinary study of nine North African lakes (CASSARINA) aims to establish ecological baselines and to explore responses to 20th century human impacts on their ecosystems. Water chemistry measurements ...
    • Terrestrial pollen record of recent land-use changes around nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project 

      Birks, Hilary H.; Birks, Harry John Betteley; Appleby, P. G.; Fathi, Adel A.; Flower, Roger J.; Kraïem, Mohammed M.; Patrick, Simon T.; Ramdani, Mohammed (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)
      Pollen analyses and related plant macrofossil records are presented from short cores from nine North African lakes in the EU-funded CASSARINA project. Terrestrial pollen reflects human impact on the vegetation and landscape ...
    • Zooplankton (Cladocera, Ostracoda), Chironomidae and other benthic faunal remains in sediment cores from nine North African wetland lakes: the CASSARINA Project 

      Ramdani, Mohammed; Flower, Roger J.; Elkhiati, Najat; Birks, Hilary H.; Kraïem, Mohammed M.; Fathi, Adel A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)
      Palaeolimnological studies were carried out on sediment cores from nine North African wetland lakes. The lakes represented a variety of habitats ranging from freshwater to mixohaline conditions and with and without direct ...
