While phosphorus (P) sorption has been studied in Hawaii's terrestrial soils, P sorption dynamics have yet to be investigated in coastal wetlands. In other coastal zones, wetlands have been shown to sorb P and act as P sinks at the land-sea inte[...]

The goal of this study was to determine the food web pathways supporting juvenile Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) salmon in the Columbia River estuary through multiple stable isotope analysis (delta(13)C, delta(15)N, delta(34)S). Using this m[...]

Bottom-water hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico has increased in severity (duration, frequency, and intensity) since the 1970s and has impacted the less-mobile benthos ever since. From September 2003 to October 2004, the macrobenthic density[...]
