متن کاملBioturbation and Erodibility of Sediments from the Tagus Estuary
Bioturbation can modify the biogeochemical properties of cohesive sediments and affect sediment stability. Here, we investigate the effects of the clam, Scrobicularia plana, on the erodibility of estuarine sediments. Muddy sediments with different mud contents were collected with minimal disturbance at Ponta da Erva, Hortas and Samouco in the Tagus Estuary. S. plana 40.7±0.3 mm length, (mean ± ...
متن کاملEstuary entrance changes in response to an environmental flow release
An environmental water releases to the Snowy River was made in October 2011 (12,000 ML/day) as part of the Snowy River Increased Flows Program. The effects on the inlet entrance morphology and tidal response were measured on four field trips for each release to cover the flow peak and recovery. Water level recorders were deployed in the principal channels over the period of the releases and for...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in denitrification and dissolved nitrogen fluxes in intertidal sediments of the Tagus estuary, Portugal
Dissolved nitrogen fluxes and denitrification were studied during 1 yr in intertidal sediments of the Tagus estuary (Portugal). This study focused on the factors regulating both nitrogen fluxes across the sediment-water interface and denitrification, and on the effect of microphytobenthos activity in controlling nitrogen cycling in these areas. Sampling was performed monthly at 2 stations locat...
متن کاملUnraveling the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of bacterial community changes in the Estuary of Bilbao and its tributaries
In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to characterize the changes in taxonomic composition and environmental factors significantly influencing bacterial community structure across an annual cycle in the Estuary of Bilbao as well as its tributaries. In spite of this estuary being small and characterized by a short residence time, the environmental factors most highly correlated with t...
