Episodic nutrient transport to Florida coral reefs
This study documents the changes in nutrient fluxes associated with internal tidal bores arriving on Florida Keys coral reefs and points to biological use of subthermocline nitrate brought onshore by this mechanism. Internal bores on Conch Reef, Florida Keys, are associated with concentrations of 1.0–4.0 mmol L21 nitrate (NO ) and 0.1–0.3 3 mmol L21 soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) and onshore ...
متن کاملRegional Trace Element and Sulfate Transport
The goal of this paper was to investigate the transport of atmospheric sulfate and trace elements across the northeastern U.S.A. Data from a number of sites-Underhill (VT), Whiteface Mountain (NY), Mayvil le (NY), Laurel Hill and Allegheny Mountain (PA) and Deep Creek Lake (MD)-in August 1983 were considered. Sulfate was found to be regional in nature, displaying temporal variations which were ...
متن کاملCoastal Groundwater Flow and Associated Nutrient Transport into the Sea
A numerical model is developed to examine coastal groundwater processes in a sandy beach, including the effects of tidal fluctuations, saltwater intrusion into an aquifer, and dynamics in unsaturated layers. The simulation results indicate: 1) ‘Local circulation’ is clearly formed in the aquifer near the shoreline owing mainly to tidal oscillations. 2) The circulation induces a landward bending...
متن کاملCoastal Groundwater Management with Nearshore Resource Interactions
This paper develops a regional hydrologic-ecologic-economic model of groundwater use and a nearshore ecosystem. Particularly, we model coastal groundwater management and its effects on discharge, nearshore water quality, and marine biota (e.g., indigenous marine algae). We show that incorporating the external effects on nearshore resources increases the optimal steady-state head level. Numerica...
متن کاملFish-derived nutrient hotspots shape coral reef benthic communities.
Animal-derived nutrients play an important role in structuring nutrient regimes within and between ecosystems. When animals undergo repetitive, aggregating behavior through time, they can create nutrient hotspots where rates of biogeochemical activity are higher than those found in the surrounding environment. In turn, these hotspots can influence ecosystem processes and community structure. We...
