Cores collected from a station in the main body of the Chesapeake Bay off Tilghman Island (38°41′30″N, 76°24′00″W) were analyzed for Pb210, organic carbon, nitrogen, and selected metals. A mean sedimentation rate of between 0.09–0.12 cm/y was inferred from the Pb210 data. The distributions of C and N are typical of many areas of the Bay. The distributions of extractable Ni, Cr, Cu, and Pb increased in the upper 10–15 cm of the core. The increases in metal concentrations over the past century or so may be a result of man’s activities.","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127917055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data generally support the hypothesis that striped individuals attain lower temperatures when exposed to sunlight, are favored where mortality from heat stress is common, and are at a disadvantage where mortality from freezing predominates.","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121893600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “bars” of the cage consist of a membrane whose pores are sufficiently large to permit relatively rapid exchange of “inside” and “outside” nutrient-containing waters which ensures that the contained phytoplankton are always subjected to the “outside” (in situ) nutrient regime. The pores are sufficiently small to retain the captured phytoplankton. In order to measure growth rates precisely the cages are incubatedin situ for times greater than the doubling times of the population (ca. 3 days). The population changes within the cages reflect the integral net primary production. Therefore the technique can be used to characterize geographical locations in terms of their potential for supporting the growth of natural phytoplankton populations. A possible specific application of this technique is the comparative study of the effects on the growth of phytoplankton of near field and far field water masses adjoining power plants or sewage treatment plants.","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124966646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seasonal changes in the numerically dominant species resulted in varying community structure and was characterized by a near total faunal depletion during summer, initial recolonization during early fall, secondary recolonization during late fall, and growth and structural development during winter and spring. The faunal depletion that occurred each summer caused the cycle to repeat on an annual basis. The structure of the community was similar each year during initial recolonization (fall), but varied during secondary recolonization (winter and spring), reflecting the recruitment success of species that reproduce in the fall (i.e.,Macoma balthica, Mulinia lateralis, Nereis succinea, andParaprionospio pinnata).

Analysis of a regional sampling of shoreline morphology and processes demonstrates that decreasing tidal ranges result in increasing long-term erosion rates. This results because larger tidal ranges form a higher elevation beach. Thus, in larger tidal range areas, water levels increased by storm surges have a lower probability of reaching the elevation of the fastland (bluff or dune) material to augment erosion. Secondly, the wave energy is distributed over a greater distance in the course of a tidal cycle.","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122525345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
