Long-term change in dissolved inorganic nutrients in the heterotrophic Scheldt estuary (Belgium, The Netherlands)
Karline Soetaert,Jack J. Middelburg,Carlo H. R. Heip,Patrick Meire,Stefan Van Damme,Tom Maris +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated long-term trends in dissolved inorganic nutrients in the tidal part of the Scheldt estuary (Belgium, The Netherlands), and they found that the concentration of dissolved silicate (DSi), dissolved nitrogen (DIN), and phosphate (DIP) increased significantly until the mid 1970s, after which they declined linearly at rates of 0.6, 2.9, and 0.3 mmol L 21 yr 21, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical land use change has lowered terrestrial silica mobilization
Eric Struyf,Adriaan Smis,Stefan Van Damme,Josette Garnier,Gerard Govers,Bas van Wesemael,Daniel J. Conley,Okke Batelaan,Okke Batelaan,Elisabeth Frot,Wim Clymans,Floor Vandevenne,Christiane Lancelot,Peter Goos,Peter Goos,Patrick Meire +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that land use is the most important controlling factor of terrestrial Si mobilization in temperate European watersheds, with sustained cultivation (>250 years) of formerly forested areas leading to a twofold to threefold decrease in baseflow delivery of Si.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Biogeochemical Silicon Cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the cycling of silicon in the environment is presented, which provides inspiration for researchers to study this fascinating element, as well as providing a background environmental context to those interested in silicon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zooplankton in the Schelde estuary, Belgium and the Netherlands: spatial and temporal patterns
M. Tackx,Nathalie De Pauw,Riet Van Mieghem,Frédéric Azémar,A. Hannouti,Stefan Van Damme,Franck Fiers,Nanette Daro,Patrick Meire +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the zooplankton fauna of the Zeeschelde estuary (Belgium) over 10 months by means of monthly sampling and used Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) to relate the species distribution to environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phragmites australis and silica cycling in tidal wetlands
Eric Struyf,Eric Struyf,Stefan Van Damme,Britta Gribsholt,K. Bal,Olivier Beauchard,Jack J. Middelburg,Patrick Meire +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of vegetation in the dissolution of dissolved Si from R australis stems has been quantified, showing that vegetation contributes to and enhances dissolved Si recycling capacity of tidal marshes: in a reeddominated small freshwater tidal marsh, more than 40% of DSi export was attributable to reed decomposition.
