Coastal eutrophication caused by anthropogenic nutrient inputs is one of the greatest threats
to the health of coastal estuarine and marine ecosystems worldwide. Globally,∼ 24% of the …

Coastal zones, the world's most densely populated regions, are increasingly threatened by
climate change stressors—rising and warming seas, intensifying storms and droughts, and …

Aquatic environments experiencing low-oxygen conditions have been described as hypoxic,
suboxic, or anoxic zones; oxygen minimum zones; and, in the popular media, the misnomer …

Nutrient fluxes to coastal areas have risen in recent decades, leading to widespread hypoxia
and other ecological damage, particularly from nitrogen (N). Several factors make N more …

Based on observations collected during 15 cruises from 2002 to 2007 and on historical data,
annual and seasonal variations in dissolved inorganic nutrients in the Changjiang (Yangtze) …

Coastal hypoxia is an increasingly recognized environmental issue of global concern to both
the scientific community and the general public. We assessed the relative contributions from …

This study provides an innovative process-based modelling approach using the SWAT
model and shows its application to support the implementation of the European …

The nitrogen cycle of pre-industrial ecosystems has long been remarkably closed, in spite of
the high mobility of this element in the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Inter-regional and …

Hypoxia has become a world-wide phenomenon in the global coastal ocean and causes a
deterioration of the structure and function of ecosystems. Based on the collective …

In an especially dry year (2006) in the Changjiang Estuary, three cruises were conducted
between June and October, to study the process of oxygen depletion. Data for the hypoxic …
