There is growing scientific, regulatory and public concern over anthropogenic input of
radionuclides to the aquatic environment, especially given the issues surrounding existing …

The excess input of nutrients that triggers eutrophication processes is one of the main
destabilizing factors of coastal ecosystems, being coastal lagoons prone to suffer these …

We estimated the influence of planktonic and benthic grazing on phytoplankton in the
strongly tidal, river-dominated northern San Francisco Estuary using data from an intensive …

Salt marsh ecosystems have declined globally and are increasingly threatened by erosion,
sea level rise, and urban development. These highly productive, physically demanding …

Effects of suspended mussel and infaunal clam cultivation on sediment characteristics, and
benthic organic and inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes were compared in a shallow …

Ionizing radiation is known to induce genetic damage in diverse groups of organisms. Under
accidental situations, large quantities of radioactive elements get released into the …

Trophic dynamic studies of aquatic ecosystem are usually based on either dynamic or state-
state models of energy and material transfer, comprising of a few functional tropic levels …

While many coastal ecosystems previously supported high densities of seagrass and
abundant bivalves, the impacts of overfishing, eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, and …

Tackling environmental problems not only requires the detection of harmful agents or the
drivers that induce changes in ecosystems and their effects, but also knowledge of their …

Coastal environments are vulnerable to land development due to human population growth
that has increased nitrogen and phosphorus loading into receiving estuaries. As a result …
