TL;DR: In this article, an integrated synthesis with timelines and evaluations of ecological responses to eutrophi- cation in Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the USA, are provided.

The Eastern Oyster: Crassostrea Virginica
TL;DR: The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a non-moving, filter feeding shellfish occurring naturally along the western Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of St. Lawrence off Quebec, Canada to the gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Seagrass Density and Distribution in Response to Changes in Turbidity Stemming from Bivalve Filtration and Seagrass Sediment Stabilization
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model was proposed to calculate how changes in the balance between sediment sources (wave-induced resuspension) and sinks (bivalve filtration, sedimentation within seagrass beds) regulate turbidity.
Book ChapterDOI
Influence of Eastern Oysters on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Regeneration in Chesapeake Bay, USA
TL;DR: Suspension-feeding bivalves couple pelagic and benthic processes because they consume seston from the water column, and their biodeposits (feces and pseudofeces) settle on the sediment surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of simulated bivalve biodeposition and microphytobenthos on sediment nitrogen dynamics: A laboratory study
TL;DR: It is postulate that denitrification of particulate nitrogen remaining in oyster feces and pseudofeces may enhance nitrogen removal from estuaries, suggesting that an ecosystem dominated by benthic primary production may develop in shallow waters when reduced turbidity associated with bivalve feeding increases light penetration to a level that can sustain benthics microalgal production.
