The availability of carbon (C) from high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and
anthropogenic release of nitrogen (N) is increasing, but these increases are not paralleled …

Estuarine ecosystems are subject to extreme weather and climatic events, particularly global
climate change. To characterize the effects of extreme weather, such as heavy precipitation …

Estuaries are important in terms of biodiversity, biogeochemical function, and ecological
balance due to their intense land-sea interactions. The sustainability of estuarine ecosystem …

The Pearl River Estuary is a subtropical estuary and the second largest in China based on
discharge volume from the Pearl River. Processes in the estuary vary spatially and …

We analyzed the potential for eutrophication in major seas around China: the Bohai Gulf,
Yellow Sea and South China Sea. We model the riverine inputs of nitrogen (N), phosphorus …

We examined the occurrence of seasonal hypoxia (O2< 2mgl− 1) in the bottom waters of
four river-dominated ocean margins (off the Changjiang, Mississippi, Pearl and Rhône …

To better understand seasonal variation in phytoplankton community structure in the East
China Sea (ECS), 4 research cruises were carried out between August 2009 and June 2011 …

Abstract The Bohai and Yellow seas are marginal seas of the western North Pacific,
characterized by coastal eutrophication and populated coastlines. In this work, six survey …

The Pearl River is one of the large rivers in the world and it discharges to the northern part of
the South China Sea. There has been a concern about the deterioration of dissolved oxygen …

The dynamics of size-fractionated phytoplankton along the salinity gradient in the Pearl
River Estuary and the adjacent near-shore oceanic water was investigated using …
