Eutrophication Processes in Coastal Systems

More about the book

The book offers an in-depth examination of eutrophication processes in coastal systems, based on over three decades of research across seven major river-estuaries. It highlights the effects of nutrient loading on marine environments, emphasizing the importance of understanding bloom impacts in relation to background conditions like drought and human activities. It advocates for further investigation into phytoplankton communities and their relationship with plankton blooms, sediment quality, and secondary production, underscoring the complexity of coastal ecosystems.
