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,
tropical cyclones, heat waves) have increased in frequency and/or intensity in certain world …

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

A Bayesian hierarchical model to predict benthic oxygen demand from organic matter loading in estuaries and coastal zones
Ecological models that have a theoretical basis and yet are mathematically simple enough
to be parameterized using available data are likely to be the most useful for environmental …
