Eutrophication Processes in Coastal Systems

Origin and Succession of Plankton Blooms and Effects on Secondary Production in Gulf Coast Estuaries

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Derived from research spanning over 31 years in a series of studies of seven major river-estuaries, Eutrophication Processes in Coastal Systems presents a comprehensive review of the nature of the eutrophication process and how short- and long-term nutrient loading affects marine systems. This unique book is the culmination of advanced research on how coastal systems work. It presents the case that bloom impacts must be reviewed against the background conditions that include periodic changes brought on by drought and anthropogenous dredging. It points to the critical need for further study of phytoplankton communities and the connection between plankton blooms, sediment deterioration, and low secondary production.
