This study evaluated the competing effects of nutrient loads and changing salinity on chlorophyll-a dynamics in Tampa Bay (Florida, USA). This estuary has demonstrated long-term recovery of water quality primarily through wastewater infrastructure improvements, whereas a gradual freshening of the bay over the last few decades may compromise future management efforts to protect water quality. The relative effects of loading and salinity over a forty-year time period were evaluated using normalized predictions from Generalized Additive Models (GAMs). All bay segments showed a gradually increasing influence of reduced salinity on chlorophyll-a. Old Tampa Bay in the northwest also showed an increasing influence of nutrient loading. Simulation scenarios using the GAMs assessed the relative likelihood of exceeding regulatory chlorophyll-a standards under future salinity conditions. All bay segments showed an increased likelihood of exceeding regulatory standards, particularly in Old Tampa Bay where likelihood increased by ~ 16% over a fifty-year simulation. The results suggested that current nutrient loads should be substantially reduced below the federally-recognized Total Maximum Daily Load to maintain likelihood of meeting regulatory chlorophyll-a standards in the future that is similar to present. By understanding the effects of largely unmanageable characteristics of the bay, water quality managers can reassess efforts on limiting factors they can control relative to those they cannot.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12237-026-01792-5.</p>","PeriodicalId":11921,"journal":{"name":"Estuaries and Coasts","volume":"49 6","pages":"178"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13437595/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148677721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to reveal the influence of the change in coastal protection (groyne removal) on the composition of submarine groundwater in front of a coastal peatland at the southern Baltic Sea. Multi-stable isotopes (H, C, O, S) and the concentrations of major and trace ions were followed using two 5-m-long permanent pore water lances between years 2022 and 2024. Results from the two sites showed strong spatial and vertical differences in the hydrobiogeochemical characteristics of the subterranean estuary. This is caused by the variability in mixing of seawater with land-derived water, high in dissolved organic matter and solute concentrations. High concentrations of redox-sensitive species (Mn 2+ , Fe 2+ , and H 2 S) in the pore water suggest high in situ diagenesis. The concentration profiles and isotope values revealed the consistent existence of a sulfate-methane transition zone at the upper 3 m depth at one site. Substantial accumulations of dissolved elements are observed below. The submarine groundwater compositions differ from those of peatland surface and groundwater and extrapolated freshwater components. The pore water biogeochemistry changed due to sediment ventilation in response to the groyne removal, but also to storm surges and Baltic inflows, which had a more pronounced impact. This resulted in enhanced microbial sulfate reduction and changes in concentrations of redox-sensitive elements. We conclude that the removal of coastal protection structures caused disruptions in the biogeochemical processes, but effects are less important than those of storm surges and Baltic inflows.","PeriodicalId":11921,"journal":{"name":"Estuaries and Coasts","volume":"48 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12237-025-01570-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147905281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tidal trapping involves volumes of water being temporarily trapped in dead zones or side channels adjacent to the main channel and released later in the tidal cycle, which causes an additional up-estuary salt flux. Tidal trapping can result from a diffusive exchange between a channel and a trap, or from filling and emptying of the trap by a tidal flow that is ahead in phase compared to the flow in the main channel (advective out-of-phase exchange). This study revisits the dispersive contribution from tidal trapping in a single dead-end side channel using an idealized numerical model.

Mixing of the trapped salinity field enhances the dispersive effect for small velocity phase differences. A continuous diffusive channel-trap exchange also enhances the dispersive trap effect when the velocity phase difference is small, but can dampen it when the phase difference is large. We demonstrate that the effect of a trap is twofold: firstly, channel-trap exchange alters the salinity field and introduces an additional salt flux in the main channel over a distance equal to the tidal excursion length; secondly, the altered salinity gradients are advected in both up- and down-estuary direction, influencing the tidal salt flux over twice the excursion length.</p>","PeriodicalId":11921,"journal":{"name":"Estuaries and Coasts","volume":"48 6","pages":"153"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12310870/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144774950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We measured fecal pellet carbon (FPC) production by the whole near-surface mesozooplankton community in the York River sub-estuary of Chesapeake Bay. Zooplankton biomass and taxonomic composition were measured with monthly paired day/night net tows. Live animal experiments were used to quantify FPC production rates of the whole community and dominant individual taxa. Zooplankton biomass increased in surface waters at night (2- to 29-fold) due to diel vertical migration, especially by <i>Acartia</i> spp. copepods. Biomass and diversity were seasonally low in the winter and high in the summer and often dominated by <i>Acartia</i> copepods. Whole community FPC production rates were higher (3- to 65-fold) at night than during the day, with the 0.5-1 mm size class contributing 2-26% to FPC production in the day versus 40-70% at night. An increase in the relative contribution of larger size fractions to total FPC production occurred at night due to diel vertical migration of larger animals into surface waters. Community FPC production was highest in fall due to increased diversity and abundance of larger animals producing larger fecal pellets, and lowest in summer likely due to top-down control of abundant crustacean taxa by gelatinous predators.

In this study, a 3D-coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model is used to quantify the controls on the carbonate system of a coastal plain estuary, specifically the York River estuary.

Results show that on average, wetlands account for 20–30% of total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fluxes into the estuary, and double-estuarine CO<sub>2</sub> outgassing. Strong quasi-monthly variability is driven by the tides and causes fluctuations between net heterotrophy and net autotrophy. On longer time scales, model results show that in wetter years, lower light availability decreases primary production relative to biological respiration (i.e., greater net heterotrophy) resulting in substantial increases in CO<sub>2</sub> outgassing. Additionally, in wetter years, advective exports of DIC and TA to the Chesapeake Bay increase by a factor of three to four, resulting in lower concentrations of DIC and TA within the estuary.

This study aimed to quantify the degree of impact and recovery for mangroves, identify factors contributing to dieback, and consider the implications for carbon sequestration. This was achieved using remotely piloted aircraft structure-from-motion approaches, aerial photography, and field-based assessments of vegetation health and above-ground biomass (AGB). Mangroves were classified as ‘dead’, ‘partially dead’, and ‘live’. In October 2019, there was 10.8 ha of live mangroves, with this reduced to 6.6 ha by August 2022. Digital surface models (DSMs) were intersected with classified mangroves to assess the vertical distribution of each zone. All mangroves classified as ‘dead’ were distributed at elevations &lt; 0.4 m with respect to the Australian Height Datum (AHD), suggesting these regions were persistently inundated, which was confirmed by water level loggers (inundated during logger deployment).

In this study, daily growth rates (<i>GR</i><sub><i>D</i></sub>) and clutch size metrics of <i>N. americana</i> collected during the early and late summer of 2018–2019 were evaluated for the Choptank and Patuxent rivers, major tributaries of Chesapeake Bay known to exhibit different oxygenation regimes. Genetic variation in the mitochondrial CO1 locus was assessed to evaluate the potential intraspecific genetic structure within Chesapeake Bay. CO1 haplotype network analysis, phylogenetic analysis, and analysis of molecular variance revealed no genetic differences between Choptank and Patuxent river populations, with all Chesapeake Bay individuals belonging to a single genetic lineage (lineage C), of the <i>N. americana</i> cryptic species complex. Total and size-specific clutch size were approximately 18% and 53% higher, respectively, in the normoxic Choptank River during the early summer. Embryos within the marsupium, corrected for clutch size and female length, were consistently larger in the Choptank River during later larval development stages. Size-specific clutch size showed correlations with bottom water dissolved oxygen concentration (positive) and water temperature (negative). <i>GR</i><sub><i>D</i></sub> did not differ between rivers or seasonally but juveniles grew twice as fast as adults. Given that all individuals genotyped from both rivers belonged to lineage C of the <i>N. americana</i> cryptic species complex, it is hypothesized that bottom water hypoxia (rather than genetic differentiation) is responsible for reduced clutch size in the Patuxent River. Our findings build on other recent work by providing evidence of a direct, negative relationship between hypoxia and local population dynamics of <i>N. americana</i>, a key ecological component of Chesapeake Bay’s food web.</p>","PeriodicalId":11921,"journal":{"name":"Estuaries and Coasts","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142188538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
