Eutrophication is a complex process and often associated with not only a change in overall
algal biomass but also with a change in biodiversity. Common metrics of eutrophication (eg …

The past few decades have seen a massive increase in coastal eutrophication globally,
leading to widespread hypoxia and anoxia, habitat degradation, alteration of food-web …

Increases in concentrations of greenhouse gases projected for the 21st century are
expected to lead to increased mean global air and ocean temperatures. The National …

We examine the carbon balance of North American wetlands by reviewing and synthesizing
the published literature and soil databases. North American wetlands contain about 220 Pg …

Submerged and emergent wetland plant communities are evaluated for their response to
global climate change (GCC), focusing on seagrasses, submerged freshwater plants, tidal …

We review current understanding of the potential impact of climate change on the
Chesapeake Bay. Scenarios for CO2 emissions indicate that by the end of the 21st century …

Chesapeake Bay has been the subject of intensive research on cultural eutrophication and
extensive efforts to reduce nutrient inputs. In 1987 a commitment was made to reduce …

Coastal groundwater (CGW) is a critical water resource for many communities and can be a
key part of coastal ecosystems. Owing to its location, CGW faces both terrestrial and marine …

This study demonstrates how sea-level rise increases the vulnerability of coastal
communities to flooding associated with coastal storms. The case study applies a GIS-based …

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 …
