Coastal eutrophication caused by anthropogenic nutrient inputs is one of the greatest threats
to the health of coastal estuarine and marine ecosystems worldwide. Globally,∼ 24% of the …

China's rapid economic and social development has led to an acceleration in nutrient inputs
to coastal waters, which, in turn, has resulted in severe coastal eutrophication. On the …

One of the largest human‐caused areas of bottom‐water oxygen deficiency in the coastal
ocean is on the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf adjacent to the Mississippi River …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for life. In many tropical countries, P-fixing soils and
very low historical P input limit uptake of P in crops and thus yields. This presents a serious …

Water masses can become undersaturated with oxygen when natural processes alone or in
combination with anthropogenic processes produce enough organic carbon that is …

The first special volume of Limnology and Oceanography, published in 1972, focused on
whether phosphorus (P) or carbon (C) is the major agent causing eutrophication in aquatic …

Human activities, especially increased nutrient loads that set in motion a cascading chain of
events related to eutrophication, accelerate development of hypoxia (lower oxygen …

Freshwater Ecology: Concepts and Environmental Applications is a general text covering
both basic and applied aspects of freshwater ecology and serves as an introduction to the …

Aquatic ecosystems respond variably to nutrient enrichment and altered nutrient ratios,
along a continuum from fresh water through estuarine, coastal, and marine systems …

TERRESTRIAL WATER CYCLE water use between 1800 and 1980, when the global
population increased by a factor of four (Haub 1994). Aggregate irretrievable water losses …
