TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the effective transport of active N and P from land to the shelf through very large rivers is reduced to 292 · 109 moles y-1 of N and 13 · 109moles y -1 of P.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chesapeake bay anoxia: origin, development, and significance.
Charles B. Officer,Robert B. Biggs,Jay L. Taft,L. Eugene Cronin,Mary A. Tyler,Walter R. Boynton +5 more
TL;DR: The Chesapeake Bay anoxia appears to have had significant ecological effects on many marine species, including several of economic importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoxia in Chesapeake Bay, 1950–2001: Long-term change in relation to nutrient loading and river flow
TL;DR: A 52-yr record of dissolved oxygen in Chesapeake Bay (1950-2001) and a record of nitrate (NO3−) loading by the Susquehanna River spanning a longer period (1903, 1945, 2001) were assembled to describe the long-term pattern of hypoxia and anoxia in the Maryland mainstem Bay and its relationship to NO3− loading as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inputs, transformations, and transport of nitrogen and phosphorus in Chesapeake Bay and selected tributaries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assemble and analyze quantitative annual input-export budgets for total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) for Chesapeake Bay and three of its tributary estuaries (Potomac, Patuxent, and Choptank rivers).
