NUTRIENT RETENTION BY RIPARIAN FORESTED BUFFERS IN WESTERN MARYLAND: DO THEY WORK AND ARE THEY WORTH IT?
(2021)
Riparian buffers are a best management practice (BMP) implemented to improve water quality. In 1997, Maryland established the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) to give landowners incentives to install riparian ...
A numerical investigation of variability in particulate organic matter transport and fate, phytoplankton and primary production, and denitrification in a partially mixed estuary
(2020)
In Chesapeake Bay substantial quantities of organic matter are produced during the spring bloom, which contributes to severe chronic bottom oxygen depletion during the summertime. However, the details of this transport in ...
QUANTIFYING EFFECTS OF SEASONAL INUNDATION ON METHANE FLUXES FROM FORESTED FRESHWATER WETLANDS
(2021)
Developing effective strategies for reducing methane and other greenhouse gas emissions requires a quantitative understanding of their global sources and sinks. Decomposition of organic matter in wet soils is one of the ...
CABLE BACTERIA AND THEIR MICROBIAL ASSOCIATIONS IN LAB-INCUBATED SEDIMENT FROM CHESAPEAKE BAY
(2021)
Cable bacteria (Ca. Electrothrix) are long, filamentous, multicellular bacteria that grow in marine sediments and couple sulfur oxidation to oxygen reduction over centimeter-scale distances via an enigmatic long-distance ...
THE POPULATION BIOLOGY AND ECOSYSTEM EFFECTS OF THE SEA NETTLE, CHRYSAORA CHESAPEAKEI
(2020)
Some of the longest population records of jellyfish are collected from visual shore-based surveys. As surface counting is inexpensive and simple, it is of interest to determine what can be learned from such records as well ...
The significance of sea ice algae in the Pacific Arctic determined by highly branched isoprenoid biomarkers
(2021)
Our current understanding of ice algae as a carbon source at the base of the Arctic food web is limited because of difficulties unequivocally distinguishing sympagic (sea ice) from pelagic primary production once assimilated ...
USING CALCEIN, A FLUOROCHROME CHEMICAL TAG, TO MARK SHELLS OF THE EASTERN OYSTER, CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA, AND TO VALIDATE DIRECT SETTING OF OYSTER LARVAE
(2021)
Effective management of fisheries necessitates the advent and use of tools to monitor wild and introduced species. Tools currently available for marking shells of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) predominantly rely ...
Using an Inductive Grounded Theory Approach to Understand How Screening Tools and Case Studies Assess Environmental Injustices in Communities in the United States
(2021)
Communities of color and low-income communities in the United States are disproportionately overburdened with environmental burdens while having reduced access to environmental amenities and other environmental services. ...
MECHANISMS OF SORPTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS TO MICROPLASTICS
(2021)
Microplastics (MPs) are found in almost every ecosystem and in many commercially important seafood species. MPs have been found to be physically harmful to marine organisms, but also may act as vectors for organic pollutants ...
INVESTIGATING CONTROLS ON NITROUS OXIDE DISTRIBUTIONS AND AIR-SEA FLUX IN SHALLOW TIDAL WATERS USING AN EFFICIENT, NONTOXIC SAMPLING METHOD
(2020)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that is naturally produced as a byproduct of nitrogen cycling. Eutrophication elevates nitrogen availability and enhances low-oxygen conditions, thus altering nitrogen cycling ...
