Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentary nutrient dynamics in a tropical estuarine mangrove ecosystem
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and vertical distribution of nutrients and biogeochemical processes of the C, N, P and S in the Pichavaram mangrove ecosystem were analyzed for grain size distribution, nutrients and stable N isotope (δ15N) signatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental hydrogeochemistry and genesis of fluoride in groundwaters of Dindigul district, Tamilnadu (India)
S. Chidambaram,M. Bala Krishna Prasad,R. Manivannan,U. Karmegam,C. Singaraja,P. Anandhan,Mohan Viswanathan Prasanna,S. Manikandan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatialtemporal variability of F− and its geochemical control/association with other dissolved ions in groundwater in the Dindigul district of Tamilnadu (India) were conducted to describe the geochemical dynamics of F − in response to seasonal variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting potentially toxigenic Pseudo-nitzschia blooms in the Chesapeake Bay
Clarissa Anderson,Clarissa Anderson,Mathew R. P. Sapiano,Mathew R. P. Sapiano,M. Bala Krishna Prasad,Wen Long,Peter J. Tango,Chris W. Brown,Raghu Murtugudde +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development of empirical models for the potentially domoic acid-producing Pseudo-nitzschia species complex present in the Chesapeake Bay, developed from a 22-year time series of cell abundance and concurrent measurements of hydrographic and chemical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic matter characterization in a tropical estuarine-mangrove ecosystem of India: Preliminary assessment by using stable isotopes and lignin phenols
TL;DR: In this article, stable isotope (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) ratios and molecular lignin analyses were conducted in plant litter, benthic algae, sediment, particulate matter and in a variety of Benthic invertebrate species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of human-induced disturbance on benthic microbial metabolism in the Pichavaram mangroves, Vellar–Coleroon estuarine complex, India
TL;DR: Human-induced disturbance creates a sharp zonation of dry, hypersaline soil overlying less saline, wetter soil, suppressing surface microbial and root growth in mangroves of the Vellar–Coleroon estuarine complex, southeast India, partly explaining why mangrove are stunted.
