Estuaries are among the most altered and vulnerable marine ecosystems. These
ecosystems will likely continue to deteriorate owing to increased population growth in …

Salt marshes are found between the high tide and the near‐shore sublittoral zones along
the coasts and up estuaries of continents, primarily in the temperate zone. They flourish in …

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 sources and distribution of organic matter (OM) in surface waters and sediments from
Winyah Bay (South Carolina, USA) were investigated using a variety of analytical …

Even though estuarine processes are inherently three dimensional, most of the previous
studies have focused primarily on the axial (longitudinal and vertical) variabilities. Recent …

This paper synthesizes> 40 yr of data on phytoplankton abundance in the Chesapeake Bay,
USA, spanning the period 1950 to 1990. Long-term changes in the concentrations of surface …

Phytoplankton production in the Delaware Estuary (USA) was measured over several
seasonal cycles (1980-1985). Seasonal variability in daily area1 production (JP; g C m-2 dl) …

Numerical simulations of three of the most severe historical tropical cyclones to affect the
Delaware River Basin (DRB) are used to evaluate a new numerical approach that is a …

An analysis of historical and recent data on chlorophyll a for Chesapeake Bay reveals that a
significant increase of phytoplankton biomass has occurred during the last 40 to 50 yr …

Dynamics of heterotrophic bactena and phytoplankton m the Delaware Estuary (USA) were
studied over 3 yr along a sampling transect that enconlpassed the enbre sahnity gradient (0 …
