In coastal systems, the multiplicity of sources fueling the pool of particulate organic matter
(POM) leads to divergent estimations of POM composition. Eleven systems (two littoral …

Surface concentrations of particulate organic carbon (POC) in shallow inland lakes were
estimated using MODIS Aqua data. A power regression model of the direct empirical …

South Texas has a semi-arid climate with a large interannual variability of freshwater inflows.
This study sought to define how changes in freshwater inflow affect the composition, quantity …

In estuaries, phytoplankton are faced with strong environmental forcing (eg high turbidity,
salinity gradients). Taxa that appear under such conditions may play a critical role in …

Salinity is a key control on species distribution in estuaries, but interspecific interactions can
shift distributions of estuarine species away from physiologically optimal salinities. The …

Understanding estuarine sediment dynamics and particularly turbidity maximum dynamics is
crucial for the management of these coastal systems. Various processes impact the …

As a result of the increased urban and agricultural development in coastal environments,
estuaries are among the most modified and threatened aquatic ecosystems. This study used …

Estuaries are key reactive ecosystems along the land–ocean aquatic continuum, with
significant ecological and economic value. However, they have been facing strong …

Although nitrogen stable isotope ratio (δ15N) in macroalgae is widely used as a bioindicator
of anthropogenic nitrogen inputs to the coastal zone, recent studies suggest the possible …

Coastal marine and estuarine systems are subject to enormous endogenous and
exogenous pressures, particularly climate change, while at the same time being highly …
