A primary focus of coastal science during the past 3 decades has been the question: How
does anthropogenic nutrient enrichment cause change in the structure or function of …

This review provides an integrated synthesis with timelines and evaluations of ecological
responses to eutrophication in Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the USA. Analyses of …

Seagrasses occur in coastal zones throughout the world in the areas of marine habitats that
are most heavily influenced by humans. Despite a growing awareness of the importance of …

Seagrasses cover about 0.1–0.2% of the global ocean, and develop highly productive
ecosystems which fulfil a key role in the coastal ecosystem. Widespread seagrass loss …

The paper gives an overview of some of the large, shallow, semi-enclosed coastal systems
(SECS) in Europe, These SECS are important both from the ecological and the economic …

Eutrophication is one of the most severe and widespread forms of disturbance affecting
coastal marine systems. Whilst there are general models of effects on benthos, such as the …

Aquatic ecosystems respond variably to nutrient enrichment and altered nutrient ratios,
along a continuum from fresh water through estuarine, coastal, and marine systems …

Nutrient loading to coastal bay ecosystems is of a similar magnitude as that to deeper, river-
fed estuaries, yet our understanding of the eutrophication process in these shallow systems …

Ecology of Coastal Waters with Implications for Management, Second Edition is the most up-
to-date book available on coastal marine ecosystems. Students will easily relate to the …

Nutrient loading by riverine input into estuarine systems has increased by 6–50 times for the
N load from pristine conditions to present, whereas a 18–180 times increase has been …
