In the mid-1800s, when Justus von Liebig published his highly influential work relating soil
fertility to the yields of agricultural crops, surface waters worldwide frequently were …

Nutrient over-enrichment of freshwater and coastal ecosystems, or eutrophication, is a
rapidly growing environmental crisis. Worldwide, the number of coastal areas impacted by …

There is a need in the marine research and management communities for a clear
