Tidal Wetland Vegetation in the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary
We analyzed tidal wetland vegetation patterns in the San Francisco Bay–Delta estuary (Bay–Delta) and discuss their significance for future conservation. Our objective was to conduct a balanced, random sample of six historic “remnant” tidal wetlands along a salinity gradient that ranged from southern San Pablo Bay to the lower Delta. We also wanted to compare diversity among these sites at five ...
متن کاملOptimization of a Model to Predict Salinity Intrusion in San Francisco Bay Estuary Using a Genetic Algorithm
Salinity intrusion is a significant issue in the San Francisco Bay Delta because this estuary contributes substantially to fresh water supply for much of northern California. Traditionally, salinity along the estuary has been measured using monitoring instruments installed at various locations within the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta system, and these measurements are used to predict futur...
متن کاملEstimates of suspended sediment entering San Francisco Bay from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta, San Francisco Bay, California
This study demonstrates the use of suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) data collected at Mallard Island as a means of determining suspended-sediment load entering San Francisco Bay from the Sacramento and San Joaquin River watersheds. Optical backscatter (OBS) data were collected every 15 min during water years (WYs) 1995–2003 and converted to SSC. Daily fluvial advective sediment load was e...
متن کاملNitrogen sources and cycling in the San Francisco Bay Estuary: A nitrate dual isotopic composition approach
We used the dual isotopic composition of nitrate (d15N and d18O) within the estuarine system of San Francisco (SF) Bay, California, to explore the utility of this approach for tracing sources and cycling of nitrate (NO 3 ). Surface water samples from 49 sites within the estuary were sampled during July–August 2004. Spatial variability in the isotopic composition suggests that there are multiple...
متن کاملSan Francisco Bay Joint Venture
Smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), a tall grass native to the east coast, has invaded Willapa Bay, Washington, and the San Francisco Bay, California. Management with glyphosate and imazapyr can be effective, but in the San Francisco populations, applications in several sites are confined to short periods in the fall in order to protect nesting habitats of Clapper rails (Rallus longirostr...
