This study investigates the complex and non-linear influence of tides, river discharge, and winds on the variability of suspended sediments in the macrotidal Gironde Estuary, France. Employing a machine learning-based framework, we integrated high-frequency field data, hourly numerical modeling outputs, and semi-daily satellite remote sensing to spatially quantify the relative contributions of forcing mechanisms. Our results reveal that tides are the primary driver of sediment variability (42.3–58.9%), followed by river discharge (21.2–34.7%) and wind (8.7–16.9%). Uncertainties range between 7% and 13.6%. In addition, the spatial variability of their contributions is consistent across numerical modeling and satellite remote sensing data, with differences not exceeding 10%. However, satellite data is limited by cloud cover and may miss extreme events. In contrast, hourly numerical modeling indicates tides are the dominant forcing mechanism under extreme events significantly affecting suspended sediment variability in the estuary. This study verifies the effectiveness of our machine learning approach against traditional Singular Spectral Analysis using field data. We demonstrate that machine learning techniques can effectively synthesize spatial distribution patterns of hydrodynamic and sedimentological variability, including the influence of winds.

The results revealed that a large amount of Chl-a was present in the study area throughout the year, where the Chl-a concentration reached a maximum of 0.88 mg m<sup>−3</sup> in July, which was 1.76 times greater than that (0.50 mg m<sup>−3</sup>) in April. In summer, there was increased upwelling and a thinner mixed layer, which pulled the bottom nutrients to the surface and led to the inflow of South China Sea water (SCSW) with Chl-a in the horizontal direction. In winter, the Kuroshio Branch Water (KBW) intrusion and the inflow of Chinese coastal water into the northern part of the Taiwan Strait (TWS) resulted in a zone of high temperature gradient, whereas the strong northeasterly monsoon strengthened the vertical mixing of the study area, which coincided with the zone of high Chl-a values.

The aim of this work was to evaluate geochemical processes that condition groundwater salinity in Caleta de Los Loros marsh considering geomorphological – climatic factors associated with the Holocene evolution of this Argentinean Patagonia coastal area. In this sense, a mapping and a geomorphological characterization was performed based on satellite images, digital elevation models and field surveys. A monitoring network including both surface and groundwater was made in order to measure <em>in situ</em> pH and electrical conductivity and to take samples to determine major ions and stable isotopes in the laboratory. The set of results obtained highlights that variations in salinity, major ions composition and isotopic signal recorded in the groundwater of Caleta de Los Loros marsh vary in the different sectors of the intertidal plains resulting from geomorphological evolution from the middle Holocene to the present day. The older intertidal deposits (2100 years B.P.) currently located in the more continental sector host high salinity environments with high marshes vegetated with <em>Salicornia</em> sp. The hydrochemical and isotopic signal indicates that in them salinity responds primarily to evaporitic salt dissolution – precipitation cycles. Meanwhile, more coastal intertidal deposits have less than 500 years and they host low marsh environments vegetated with <em>Spartina</em> sp. Hydrochemistry and isotopic composition in them reflect that tidal water flooding is the main water contribution to the system, being marsh groundwater hydrogeochemichally similar to surface water. Locally, contributions from adjacent beach ridges and hydrochemical variations associated with CO<sub>2(g)</sub> dissolution were also recognized.

Results reveal a remarkably lower biodiversity in pelagic relative to benthic ARMS as well as strong spatial patterns in community composition with the pelagic ARMS greatly differing to the benthic ones according to both metabarcoding (ANOSIM R = 0.82; <em>p</em> = 0.002) and image analysis (ANOSIM R = 0.87; <em>p</em> = 0.001). We also show that a large portion of the larvae inhabiting the pelagic domain (83.5%) probably originates from benthic habitats, while the benthic community shared across pelagic and benthic habitats is considerably lower (24.9%). Further, we also analyzed which benthic species successfully use the pelagic environment to disperse across the ocean from nearshore coast, and found that the unique benthic taxa inhabiting the pelagic ARMS consist of organisms with typically larger dispersal distances relative to strictly sessile taxa with direct larvae development found only in rock-attached benthic ARMS. Overall, these findings suggest that the benthic system acts as population source delivering species towards a less diverse pelagic domain.
