Highly advective upwelling systems along the western margins of continents are widely
believed to transport larvae far offshore in surface currents resulting in larval wastage …

A fundamental goal of the study of ecology is to determine the drivers of habitat-forming
vegetation, with much emphasis given to the relative importance to vegetation of “bottom-up” …

It has become clear that estuaries with low rates of freshwater inflow are an important but
overlooked sphere of estuarine science. Low-inflow estuaries (LIEs) represent a major class …

Coastal ecosystems provide numerous important ecological services, including
maintenance of biodiversity and nursery grounds for many fish species of ecological and …

Small low-inflow intermittently closed estuaries are common in Mediterranean climates
worldwide; however, despite their important contributions to ecosystem services and coastal …

Small estuaries in Mediterranean climates display pronounced salinity variability at
seasonal and event time scales. Here, we use a hydrodynamic model of the Coos Estuary …

The southern California coastline hosts low-inflow estuaries that have mouths that
periodically close. Low-inflow estuaries can become hypoxic and are then often opened …

The primary objective of this study was to gain an understanding of how key microbial
communities involved in nitrogen cycling in estuarine sediments vary over a 12-month …

Abstract Westward-propagating Caribbean Current eddies modify the volume-integrated
potential vorticity (PV) balance in the western Caribbean Sea, influencing the circulation of …

Hydrodynamics play a critical role in mediating biological and ecological processes and can
have major impacts on the distribution of habitat-forming species. Low-inflow estuaries are …
