Estuarine sediment nutrient exchange: the importance of physical transport mechanisms and benthic micro-communities
Utilizing field and modeling methodology, the effects of benthic micro-communities and physical transport mechanisms on sediment nutrient flux were investigated for two nearshore sediment types on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Subtidal sandy mineral sediments were conducive to water transport and subseq...
