The scalar-isoscalar states are treated as mixed states of quarkonia and glueball configurations. A fit to the experimental decay rates listed by the Particle Data group is performed to extract phenomenological constraints on the nature of the scalar resonances. A comparison to other theoretical approaches in the scalar meson sector is discussed.13 pages, accepted for publication in PLBHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyScalar meson and glueball decays within a effective chiral approachtext
