The hydrodynamics of the southern basin of Tauranga Harbour [PDF]
The circulation of the southern basin of Tauranga Harbour was simulated using a 3-D hydrodynamic model ELCOM. A 9-day field campaign in 1999 provided data on current velocity, temperature and salinity profiles at three stations within the main basin. The

Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen emissions and deposition have substantially increased seawater nitrate concentrations in the western North Pacific. However, their influence on net community production (NCP)—a primary driver of organic carbon export from the euphotic zone—remains one of the least constrained components governing oceanic CO2 uptake ...

Abstract Reservoir regulation significantly alters the export and flux of terrestrial particulate organic carbon (POC), while also modifying its composition and fate within fluvial systems. However, the effects of different regulatory regimes on riverine POC persistence and transformation remains uncertain.

Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability plays a significant role in mixing. To investigate the existence of K-H instability along the North Passage of the Yangtze River Estuary, the non-hydrostatic model NHWAVE is utilized to simulate the fresh-salt water ...

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion [PDF]
With sea level rise accelerating and sediment inputs to the coast declining worldwide, there is concern that tidal wetlands will drown. To better understand this concern, sources of sediment contributing to marsh elevation gain were computed for Plum ...

Salt‐Freshwater Mixing and Submarine Groundwater Discharge in Sloping Unconfined Tidal Aquifers
Abstract Previous studies have revealed the groundwater flow and salt transport in unconfined coastal aquifers in response to numerous factors. However, previous studies assumed a flat aquifer base, and it is unclear how a sloping aquifer base would affect the subsurface flow and salinity distributions.

Uptake and accumulation of metals in Spartina alterniflora salt marshes from a South American estuary [PDF]
Salt marshes are capable of reducing metal pollution in coastal waters, but this capacity is highly dependent on the metal, the physico-chemical characteristics of the sediment, the plant species, the production of biomass, the time of the year, etc. The

Rising Temperature May Trigger Deep Soil Carbon Loss Across Forest Ecosystems
Significantly more carbon (C) is stored in deep soil than in shallow horizons, yet how the decomposition of deep soil organic C (SOC) will respond to rising temperature remains unexplored on large scales, leading to considerable uncertainties to ...
