Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) links terrestrial and marine systems, but has often
been overlooked in coastal nutrient budgets because it is difficult to quantify. In this Review …

The exchange of groundwater between land and sea is a major component of the
hydrological cycle. This exchange, called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), is …

Nitrification, the microbial oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate, occurs in a wide variety
of environments and plays a central role in the global nitrogen cycle. Catalyzed by the …

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now recognized as an important process of the
hydrological cycle worldwide and plays a major role as a conveyor of dissolved compounds …

Enterococci are found in high concentrations in human feces, usually between 104 and 106
bacteria per gram wet weight (Layton, Walters, Lam, & Boehm, 2010; Slanetz & Bartley …

Submarine groundwater discharge to coastal waters can be a significant source of both
contaminants and biologically limiting nutrients. Nitrogen cycling across steep gradients in …

Beach sand is a habitat that supports many microbes, including viruses, bacteria, fungi and
protozoa (micropsammon). The apparently inhospitable conditions of beach sand …

Using radium (Ra) isotopes and nutrient analyses, we found that submarine groundwater
discharge (SGD) is an important source of “new” nutrients, particularly nitrogen, to coral …

To protect bather health at recreational beaches, fecal indicator bacterial standards are used
to monitor water quality, and waters exceeding the standards are subsequently closed to …

Despite the relevance of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) for ocean
biogeochemistry, the microbial dimension of SGD remains poorly understood. SGD can …
