- •
Sedimentary organic matter and meiofauna were investigated in the N Adriatic Sea.
- •
Investigated sediments were found to be from oligo- to mesotrophic.
- •
Environmental quality, based on meiofauna, resulted sufficient-moderately impacted.
- •
Environmental quality is not closely linked to benthic trophic status.
- •
Benthic trophic status cannot be used alone to assess good environmental status.
