An 'extreme'future for estuaries? Effects of extreme climatic events on estuarine water quality and ecology

MS Wetz, DW Yoskowitz - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013 - Elsevier
Recent climate observations suggest that extreme climatic events (ECE; droughts, floods,

A Bayesian network of eutrophication models for synthesis, prediction, and uncertainty analysis

ME Borsuk, CA Stow, KH Reckhow - Ecological Modelling, 2004 - Elsevier
A Bayesian network consists of a graphical structure and a probabilistic description of the
relationships among variables in a system. The graphical structure explicitly represents …

Assessing and managing nutrient-enhanced eutrophication in estuarine and coastal waters: Interactive effects of human and climatic perturbations

HW Paerl - Ecological Engineering, 2006 - Elsevier
Estuaries are among the most productive, resourceful, and dynamic aquatic ecosystems on
Earth. Their productive nature is linked to the fact that they process much of the world's …

Temporal responses of coastal hypoxia to nutrient loading and physical controls

WM Kemp, JM Testa, DJ Conley, D Gilbert… - …, 2009 - bg.copernicus.org
The incidence and intensity of hypoxic waters in coastal aquatic ecosystems has been
expanding in recent decades coincident with eutrophication of the coastal zone. Worldwide …

Oxygen depletion in the upper reach of the Pearl River estuary during a winter drought

M Dai, X Guo, W Zhai, L Yuan, B Wang, L Wang, P Cai… - Marine chemistry, 2006 - Elsevier
We examined dissolved oxygen (DO), the carbonate system and nutrients in the upper reach
of the Pearl River estuary in a very dry season in February of 2004. We observed very low …

Habitat degradation from intermittent hypoxia: impacts on demersal fishes

LA Eby, LB Crowder, CM McClellan… - Marine Ecology …, 2005 - int-res.com
As eutrophication of estuaries and coastal oceans increases worldwide, the resulting
expansion of hypoxic zones represents an increasingly frequent form of habitat degradation …

Species-specific avoidance responses by blue crabs and fish to chronic and episodic hypoxia

GW Bell, DB Eggleston - Marine Biology, 2005 - Springer
Although both chronic and episodic hypoxia (O 2< 2 mg l− 1) alter the distribution and
abundance patterns of mobile animals within estuaries, recent evidence suggests that some …
