Algal blooms and the nitrogen-enrichment hypothesis in Florida springs: evidence, alternatives, and adaptive management.
(Ecol Appl, 2010-04)Contradictions between system-specific evidence and broader paradigms to explain ecosystem behavior present a challenge for natural resource management. In Florida (U.S.A.) springs, increasing nitrate (NO3-) concentrations ... -
An Evaluation of Water Quality Parameters and Flow Dynamics in High Rock Lake, North Carolina to Assist in the Development of Nutrient Criteria for Lakes and Reservoirs in the State
(2018-04-26)High Rock Dam, located in Rowan and Davidson Counties in North Carolina, was constructed on the Yadkin River in 1927. High Rock Lake (HRL) is primarily fed by the Yadkin River and several smaller tributaries, draining a ... -
Assessing the effectiveness of the Neuse nitrogen TMDL program and its impacts on estuarine chlorophyll dynamics
(2011)Coastal eutrophication is a complex process that is caused largely by anthropogenic nutrient enrichment. Estuaries are particularly susceptible to nutrient impairment, owing to their intimate connection with the contributing ... -
Bayesian Statistical Analysis in Coastal Eutrophication Models: Challenges and Solutions
(2014)Estuaries interfacing with the land, atmosphere and open oceans can be influenced in a variety of ways by anthropogenic activities. Centuries of overexploitation, habitat transformation, and pollution have degraded estuarine ... -
Drained coastal peatlands: A potential nitrogen source to marine ecosystems under prolonged drought and heavy storm events-A microcosm experiment.
(Sci Total Environ, 2016-10-01)Over the past several decades there has been a massive increase in coastal eutrophication, which is often caused by increased runoff input of nitrogen from landscape alterations. Peatlands, covering 3% of land area, have ... -
Load reduction and invasive mussel effects on eutrophication dynamics in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron
(2011)Phosphorus load reduction and dreissenid invasion are the two most important factors that influence europhication dynamics in the Great Lakes. The 1978 amendments to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) between ... -
Naturally Cleaning the Waters of the Snake River
(2020-04-21)The degraded water quality of the Snake River is the result of generations of farming, but it can be improved by continuing to study and implement better management practices. Several water quality projects have been completed ... -
Plant species' origin predicts dominance and response to nutrient enrichment and herbivores in global grasslands.
(Nat Commun, 2015-07-15)Exotic species dominate many communities; however the functional significance of species' biogeographic origin remains highly contentious. This debate is fuelled in part by the lack of globally replicated, systematic data ... -
Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Long-Term Water Quality Data for the Pamlico River Estuary, North Carolina
(2015-04-24)EXECUTIVE SUMMARY North Carolina has experienced significant growth in population, development, and industrial farming that are responsible for delivering unprecedented amounts of pollutants into its freshwater and coastal ...
