Abstract Dissolved silicate (DSi) export from rivers is shaped by both natural processes and human activities. Using long‐term observations at Lijin station combined with chemical weathering and reservoir silicon cycling models, we reconstructed annual DSi fluxes and source‐sink dynamics in the Yellow River Basin since the 1980s.

Seasonal and population differences in migration of Whimbrels in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway
Background Conserving migratory birds is challenging due to their reliance on multiple distant sites at different stages of their annual life cycle. The concept of “flyway”, which refers to all areas covered by the breeding, nonbreeding, and migrating of

Fluvial sediment transfer in the Changjiang (Yangtze) river-estuary depositional system [PDF]
Abstract Knowledge of the transfer of sediment through river systems is essential for understanding the physical, chemical and biological processes on the Earth’s surface. A holistic analysis of long-term records of water discharge, sediment transport, riverbed morphology and estuarine hydrology is here used to quantify spatial and temporal ...

Cyclone‐induced mixing and stratification shape autumnal hypoxia in a temperate estuary
Abstract Autumnal hypoxia in temperate estuaries is often overlooked due to its smaller extent, weaker intensity, and sparse observations compared to summer. However, climate variability may alter its seasonality. Using 40 yr (1984–2023) of hypoxic volume data from the Chesapeake Bay, combined with numerical simulations, we examined interannual drivers

Remote sensing of intertidal morphological change in Morecambe Bay, U.K., between 1991 and 2007 [PDF]
Tidal Flats are important examples of extensive areas of natural environment that remain relatively unaffected by man. Monitoring of tidal flats is required for a variety of purposes. Remote sensing has become an established technique for the measurement

Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding
Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Abstract Estuaries and associated shelf deposits, which bury 70%–90% of global marine organic carbon, making them key sites for marine carbon burial. Variations in total organic carbon (TOC) content and the organic carbon burial rate (OCBR) in these sediments strongly influence carbon sequestration dynamics.
