Abstract The Chesapeake Bay, along the mid-Atlantic coast of North America, is the largest
estuary in the United States and provides critical habitat for wildlife. In contrast to point and …

Harmful algal bloom (HAB) species in the Chesapeake Bay can negatively impact fish,
shellfish, and human health via the production of toxins and the degradation of water quality …

Nitrogen (N) is a limiting nutrient in vast regions of the world's oceans, yet the sources of N
available to various phytoplankton groups remain poorly understood. In this study, we …

Due to sea level rise, tidal flooding is now common in low-lying coastal systems around the
world. Yet, the contribution of tidal flooding to non-point source nutrient loads and their …

Sea level rise has increased the frequency of tidal flooding even without accompanying
precipitation in many coastal areas worldwide. As the tide rises, inundates the landscape …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in regulating cell division and
differentiation. However, a much uncertainty exists around the ecophysiological functions …

Eutrophication is among the most widespread and deleterious anthropogenic impacts to
coastal marine ecosystems. The Chesapeake Bay (CB) and Northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) …

Microalgae are attractive for the development of environmentally sustainable processes with
the option for carbon fixation, given the photosynthetic capacity of these microorganisms …

A significant proportion of phototrophic species are known to be mixotrophs: cells that obtain
nutrients through a combination of photosynthesis and prey ingestion. Current methods to …

Climate change and nutrient pollution contribute to the expanding global footprint of harmful
algal blooms. To better predict their spatial distributions and disentangle biophysical …
