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.

TL;DR: At the high fertilization rates, integrated primary production of pond communities was significantly reduced with the loss of the vascular plants, even though phytoplankton and epiphytic growth were enhanced.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-year nitrogen and phosphorus budget for the Patuxent River estuary was developed for the seasonally stratified and moderately eutrophic tributary of Chesapeake Bay.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of wall periphvton growth on planktonic-benthosphere ecosystems and found that wall perphvton biomass increased as a quadratic functlon of increasing water volume.

TL;DR: 4 simple numerical models of plankton dynamics are developed and it is speculated that these model results may help to explain how observed reductions in relative fish yield in many shallow nutrient-enriched estuaries and lakes are related to interacting effects of cul- tural eutrophication and intense fisheries exploitation.
