Estuarine pollution imposes rapid, increasing and lasting environmental modifications. In the
present review, especial attention is given to estuaries in South America (SA), where …

Research on estuarine ecology in South America (SA) increased quali-quantitatively since
the early 1980 in search of consistent recommendations for estuarine conservation. The …

We hypothesize that nutrient cycling in a Gulf of Mexico subterranean estuary (STE) is fueled
by oxygen and labile organic matter supplied by tidal pumping of seawater into the coastal …

This paper reports the initial results of a study of groundwater and coastal waters of southern
Brazil adjacent to a 240 km barrier spit separating the Patos Lagoon, the largest coastal …

Determining how assembly rules (eg limiting similarity, environmental filtering and neutrality)
shape community structure along environmental gradients and across spatial scales is still …

The southern portion of the Brazilian coast is dominated by coastal lagoons formed by sandy
barrier spits with small inlets. This coastal configuration is a barrier to the surface flow of …

The influence of meteoceanographic variability on pelagic ecosystem metabolism was
evaluated during late austral summer (from February to March 2021), through a daily survey …

Data for uranium concentrations in 29 rivers and eight estuaries are presented. The river
data expands the existing database on riverine uranium transport to include more smaller …

Daily, seasonal, and interannual/austral spring (among austral springs only) responses of
total ecosystem metabolism (EM) were studied for the first time for the Patos Lagoon estuary …

As part of a larger program focused on understanding the biogeochemistry of large river
plumes, we participated in two expeditions during 2000 to sample the Mississippi River …
