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

Bacteria are relevant members of planktonic food webs, both in terms of biomass and
production share. The assessment and comprehension of the factors that control bacterial …

Seasonal variability in stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope ratios was
observed in suspended particulate matter of the Delaware estuary. Two major pools of …

The principle objective of this book is to review the biological characteristics of estuaries.
The volume has been as a text for undergraduates and graduate students as well as …

There has been an explosion of research on marine microbial foodweb processes in the
past decade. Today it is widely accepted that about 50% of the primary production in marine …

Despite differences in the species compositions and absolute abundances of planktonic
microorganisms in fresh-and saltwater, there are broad similarities in microbial food webs …

The bioavailibility of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in river water entering estuaries was
examined for the Delaware and Hudson Rivers, USA. Water collected from above the …

The concentration and composition of suspended particulate food available to estuarine
suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs varies temporarily and spatially. Non-algal food …

Heterotrophic bacterioplankton abundance, production, and specific growth rate in surface
and bottom waters in north, mid‐, and south Chesapeake Bay were studied monthly from …

Quantitative networks of trophic exchanges offer the potential to compare food webs from
neighboring ecosystems in order to ascertain whether large differences and similarities exist …
