Carbon cycling in the coastal zone affects global carbon budgets and is critical for
understanding the urgent issues of hypoxia, acidification, and tidal wetland loss. However …

Continental margin systems are important contributors to global nutrient and carbon
budgets. Effort is needed to quantify this contribution and how it will be modified under …

Oceanographic cruises were conducted within the US Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) to collect
field measurements to develop algorithms to retrieve surface ocean colored dissolved …

Background Humans have reduced the abundance of many large marine vertebrates,
including whales, large fish, and sharks, to only a small percentage of their pre-exploitation …

Coastal environments such as the Chesapeake Bay have long been impacted by
eutrophication stressors resulting from human activities, and these impacts are now being …

Seasonal hypoxia is a characteristic feature of the Chesapeake Bay due to anthropogenic
nutrient input from agriculture and urbanization throughout the watershed. Although …

Abstract The Chesapeake Bay plays an important role in transforming riverine nutrients
before they are exported to the adjacent continental shelf. Although the mean nitrogen …

Seagrasses comprise a substantive North American and Caribbean Sea blue carbon sink.
Yet fine-scale estimates of seagrass carbon stocks, fluxes from anthropogenic disturbances …

A coupled three‐dimensional physical model and a nitrogen‐based dissolved inorganic
nitrogen, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus (NPZD) ecosystem model was used to …

As three-dimensional (3-D) aquatic ecosystem models are used more frequently for
operational water quality forecasts and ecological management decisions, it is important to …
