Degradation capability of the coastal environment adjacent to the Itata River in central Chile (36.5° S)

The response of the coastal ocean influenced by both river discharges and inputs of photosynthetically derived organic carbon product of upwelling, was evaluated by estimating rates of microbial hydrolysis of macromolecules with the goal of estimating the potential degradation capability of the coas...
