Phosphorus (in the form of phosphate) is an essential nutrient and energy carrier on many
different levels of life, and a key element in mediating between living and lifeless parts of the …

Phytoplankton blooms are prominent features of biological variability in shallow coastal
ecosystems such as estuaries, lagoons, bays, and tidal rivers. Long‐term observation and …

The first special volume of Limnology and Oceanography, published in 1972, focused on
whether phosphorus (P) or carbon (C) is the major agent causing eutrophication in aquatic …

We present estimates of total nitrogen and total phosphorus fluxes in rivers to the North
Atlantic Ocean from 14 regions in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa which …

Over the centuries, land reclamation, coastal development, overfishing and pollution have
nearly eliminated European wetlands, seagrass meadows, shellfish beds, biogenic reefs …

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

Environmental problems in coastal ecosystems can sometimes be attributed to excess
nutrients flowing from upstream watersheds into estuarine settings. This nutrient over …

Receiving coastal waters and estuaries are among the most nutrient‐enriched environments
on earth, and one of the symptoms of the resulting eutrophication is the proliferation of …

The impact of the presence of us humans as well as our activities to nature has led to over-
exploitation of natural resources and to dramatic changes in land-use including the use of …

Nutrient over-enrichment has resulted in major changes in the coastal ecosystems of
developed nations in Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania, mostly taking place over …
