Global food security is a priority for the future development agenda of the United Nations.
Given the high dependence of the modern global food production system on the continuous …

Dead zones in the coastal oceans have spread exponentially since the 1960s and have
serious consequences for ecosystem functioning. The formation of dead zones has been …

Eutrophication, or excessive nutrient enrichment, threatens water resources across the
globe. We show that climate change–induced precipitation changes alone will substantially …

The pelagic brown macroalgae Sargassum spp. have grown for centuries in oligotrophic
waters of the North Atlantic Ocean supported by natural nutrient sources, such as excretions …

Human inputs of nutrients to coastal waters can lead to the excessive production of algae, a
process known as eutrophication. Microbial consumption of this organic matter lowers …

The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO), an important measure of water quality and river
metabolism, varies tremendously in time and space. Riverine DO is commonly perceived as …

Over the past 30 years concerted campaigns have been undertaken to reverse nutrient-
driven eutrophication in coastal waters in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia …

Human activities, especially increased nutrient loads that set in motion a cascading chain of
events related to eutrophication, accelerate development of hypoxia (lower oxygen …

Incorporation of global climate change (GCC) effects into assessments of chemical risk and
injury requires integrated examinations of chemical and nonchemical stressors …

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is raising seawater CO2 concentrations and
thereby acidifying ocean water. But a second environmental problem, eutrophication, is also …
