Spreading dead zones and consequences for marine ecosystems
RJ Diaz, R Rosenberg - science, 2008 - science.org
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 will increase during the 21st century as a result of precipitation changes
Eutrophication, or excessive nutrient enrichment, threatens water resources across the
globe. We show that climate change–induced precipitation changes alone will substantially …

Nutrient content and stoichiometry of pelagic Sargassum reflects increasing nitrogen availability in the Atlantic Basin
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 …

Acidification of subsurface coastal waters enhanced by eutrophication
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 …

Temperature outweighs light and flow as the predominant driver of dissolved oxygen in US rivers
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 …

Eutrophication-driven deoxygenation in the coastal ocean
Human activities, especially increased nutrient loads that set in motion a cascading chain of
events related to eutrophication, accelerate development of hypoxia (lower oxygen …

Eutrophication Induced CO2-Acidification of Subsurface Coastal Waters: Interactive Effects of Temperature, Salinity, and Atmospheric PCO2
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is raising seawater CO2 concentrations and
thereby acidifying ocean water. But a second environmental problem, eutrophication, is also …
