Boating and shipping operations, their associated activities and supporting infrastructure
present a potential for environmental impacts. Such impacts include physical changes to …

Nitrogen (N) cycling in mangroves is complex, with rapid turnover of low dissolved N
concentrations, but slow turnover of particulate N. Most N is stored in soils. The largest …

Until recently, it was believed that biological assimilation and gaseous nitrogen (N) loss
through denitrification were the two major fates of nitrate entering or produced within most …

The balance between estuarine denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to
ammonium (DNRA) is critical for determining nitrogen loads received by oceans from inland …

Sediments have an important role in nutrient dynamics by providing sites for denitrification,
which, in conjunction with nitrogen (N) fixation and other processes such as dissimilatory …

The eutrophication of estuaries results from increasing anthropogenic nutrient inputs to
coastal waters. Ecosystem recovery from eutrophication is partly dependent on the ability of …

Ecosystem level changes in water quality and biotic communities in coastal lagoons have
been associated with intensification of anthropogenic pressures. In light of incipient changes …

Mangroves are blue carbon ecosystems that sequester significant carbon but release CO 2,
and to a lesser extent CH 4, from the sediment through oxidation of organic carbon or from …

Assessment of physicochemical parameters of Chilika lagoon water is of vital importance as
it guides to monitor the pollution status and formulate a management plan. Mixing of water …

Estuaries play a key role in moderating the flow of nitrogen (N) to marine ecosystems.
However, the magnitude of this N removal can vary dramatically both within and between …
