Seasonal nutrient loadings in four monsoonal micro/meso tidal tropical estuaries, west coast of India
Nutrient concentrations were studied seasonally along estuarine and fluvial regions of four micro/meso tidal rivers from Karnataka and Maharashtra, west coast of India. This study was performed to assess the pathway of nutrients across the salinity gradients and evaluate the impacts of weathering and human activity on nutrient concentrations. The rivers of Maharashtra had phosphate concentrations several orders of magnitude higher than the rivers of Karnataka. Nutrient vs salinity plots suggest nutrient addition for Maharashtra rivers and removal in Karnataka rivers. The nutrients in the Karnataka rivers were mostly affected by sewage outfall and anthropogenic activities (industries), while in the Maharashtra rivers, it was influenced by fertilizer application and wastewater discharge. The seasonal nutrient distribution suggests nutrient loadings occurred from the catchments during the wet (monsoon) season in all the rivers. Significant deviations from the Redfield ratio implied occurrences of algal blooms which could threaten those ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
