The Nitrogen Cascade
James N. Galloway,John D. Aber,Jan Willem Erisman,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Robert W. Howarth,Ellis B. Cowling,B. Jack Cosby +6 more
TL;DR: The only way to eliminate Nr accumulation and stop the cascade is to convert Nr back to nonreactive N2, which leads to lag times in the continuation of the cascade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia, A.K.A. “The Dead Zone”
TL;DR: P Paleoindicators in dated sediment cores indicate that hypoxic conditions likely began to appear around the turn of the last century and became more severe since the 1950s as the nitrate flux from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico tripled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global change and eutrophication of coastal waters
TL;DR: Rabalais et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed that global climate changes will likely result in higher water temperatures, stronger stratification, and increased inflows of freshwater and nutrients to coastal waters in many areas of the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
The jellyfish joyride: causes, consequences and management responses to a more gelatinous future
TL;DR: Mounting evidence suggests that the structure of pelagic ecosystems can change rapidly from one that is dominated by fish to a less desirable gelatinous state, with lasting ecological, economic and social consequences.

TL;DR: A summary of the coastal and marine resources sector review of potential impacts on shorelines, estuaries, coastal wetlands, coral reefs, and ocean margin ecosystems can be found in this article.

World-Wide Delivery of River Sediment to the Oceans
John D. Milliman,Robert H. Meade +1 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that rivers with large sediment loads (annual discharges greater than about $15 \times 10^{6}$ tons) contribute about $7 −times 10 −9$ tons of suspended sediment to the ocean yearly.

Our evolving conceptual model of the coastal eutrophication problem
TL;DR: For example, a recent review of the early phase of the coastal eutrophication problem can be found in this article, where the authors suggest that the early (phase I) con- ceptual model was strongly influenced by limnologists, who began intense study of lake eutrophicication by the 1960s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coastal marine eutrophication: A definition, social causes, and future concerns
TL;DR: There is a need in the marine research and management communities for a clear operational definition of the term, eutrophication, and the following are proposed: this definition is consistent with historical usage and emphasizes that eUTrophication is a process, not a trophic state.
