This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of the open waters of the San Francisco
Estuary. This estuary is well known for the extent to which it has been altered through loss of …

Estuarine and coastal marine sediment-water fluxes are considered to be important
ecological features, but a global-scale assessment has yet to be developed. Goals of this …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

In natural waters, the sediment-water interface is the site where gradients in physical,
chemical and biological properties are the greatest. Both chemical and microbiological …

The estimation of mass concentration of suspended solids is one of the properties needed to
understand the characteristics of sediment transport in bays and estuaries. However, useful …

Sediment oxygen and nutrient fluxes were measured monthly for 2 yr in Mobile Bay,
Alabama, USA. Rates of sediment oxygen consumption (0.1 to 1.25 go2 n1r2 d.') …

Although nutrient supply often underlies long‐term changes in aquatic primary production,
other regulatory processes can be important. The Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta, a …

The extent to which sediments of aquatic systems immobilize or release phosphorus can
affect dramatically the P content of overlying waters. Data from 48 different aquatic systems …

Dissolved trace element (copper, nickel, cadmium, zinc, cobalt, and iron) concentrations
were measured in surface water samples collected from 27 stations in the San Francisco …

ABSTRACT A seasonal study of organic matter mineralization rates was made at 8 intertidal
stations in the Westerschelde Estuary (The Netherlands). Organic matter mineralization …
