Meta-analysis of Nekton Utilization of Coastal Habitats in the Northern Gulf of MexicoSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 1722-1745 - 2019

Estuaries in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) provide habitat for many ecologically, commercially, and recreationally important fish and crustacean species (i.e., nekton), but patterns of nekton abundance and community assemblages across habitat types, salinity zones, and seasons have not been described region-wide. Recognizing the wealth of information collected from previous and ongoing field s...... hiện toàn bộ
Localized Water Quality Improvement in the Choptank Estuary, a Tributary of Chesapeake BaySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 44 Số 5 - Trang 1274-1293 - 2021

AbstractChesapeake Bay has a long history of nutrient pollution resulting in degraded water quality. However, we report improvements in chlorophyll a in surface waters and dissolved oxygen in bottom waters at one of three estuarine stations in the Choptank tributary of Chesapeake Bay. We updated a previous nutrient budget for the estuary ...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring the Functional Strategies Adopted by Coastal Plants Along an Ecological Gradient Using Morpho-functional TraitsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 114-129 - 2021
Daniela Ciccarelli, Cleusa Bona
Coastal dunes are characterised by strong interactions between biotic and abiotic factors along a short gradient from the shoreline to the inland region. We carried out an ecological analysis of the vegetation in a protected area of the Italian coast to evaluate the relationships among species abundance, the occurrence of morphoanatomical traits related to leaves, stems, and roots, and soil variab...... hiện toàn bộ
Oxygen and Triple Oxygen Isotope Measurements Provide Different Insights into Gross Oxygen Production in a Shallow Salt Marsh PondSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 1908-1922 - 2020

The metabolism of estuarine environments is often estimated by measuring changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations. A central assumption of common oxygen-based approaches is that oxygen consumption rates (primarily respiration) are similar under light and dark conditions. Evaluating this assumption is critical, especially in benthic-dominated systems, because differences between daytime and night...... hiện toàn bộ
