Application of Short-Term Sediment Dynamics and Particle-Bound Phosphorus Fractionation Methods (SEDEX) to Estimate the Benthic Nutrient Loading Potential in Upper Newport Estuary, California
Estuaries act as sources, sinks, and biogeochemical transformation sites for natural and anthropogenically-derived nutrients. Sediment loading from watersheds provides an important source of particulate nutrients to estuaries often neglected when constructing nutrient budgets. Deposition and resusp...
