The spatio-temporal variations in stable isotope signatures (delta C-13 and delta N-15) and C/N ratios of particulate organic matter (POM), and physicochemical parameters in a creek water column were examined in an estuarine mangrove ecosystem o[...]

Increasing rates of freshwater habitat loss in the Chesapeake Bay (and elsewhere) have renewed interest in the role of freshwater in population integrity for euryhaline fishes. Freshwater habitats may be important nurseries for juveniles of anad[...]

Depth-integrated primary production (I P pound, in grams of carbon per square meter per day) was measured using (14)C in the northern San Francisco Estuary (SFE) from March through August of 2006 and 2007. Determinations of I P pound were then u[...]

The mouth dynamics of temporarily open/closed estuaries (TOCEs) play a key role in their overall functioning. In this study, the effect of the inlet state (closed vs. artificially breached) on spatial variability of macrobenthic invertebrates (c[...]
