Anthropogenic activities are altering total nutrient loads to many estuaries and freshwaters,
resulting in high loads not only of total nitrogen (N), but in some cases, of chemically …

Marine pollution caused by the substandard discharge of domestic sewage from ships has
received considerable attention in recent years. Thus, the research and application of …

Building on the classic depiction of the progression from a diatom to a dinoflagellate bloom

Estuaries worldwide are undergoing changes to patterns of aquatic productivity because of
human activities that alter flow, impact sediment delivery and thus the light field, and …

The effect of equivalent additions of nitrogen (N, 30–40 μM-N) in different forms (ammonium,

This paper reviews and highlights recent research findings on food web processes since an
earlier review by Kimmerer et al.(2008). We conduct this review within a conceptual …
