Environmental threats and environmental future of estuaries
TL;DR: Detailed examination of the effects of pollution inputs, the loss and alteration of estuarine habitat, and the role of other anthropogenic stress indicates that water quality in estuaries, particularly urbanized systems, is often compromised by the overloading of nutrients and organic matter, the influx of pathogens and the accumulation of chemical contaminants.

Superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic nanofibrous membrane with hierarchical structured skin for effective oil-in-water emulsion separation
TL;DR: A superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic nanofibrous membrane with a hierarchical structured skin for the separation of oil-in-water emulsions was prepared via electrospinning and electrospraying methods, and was found to exhibit excellent separation efficiency, robust antifouling properties, and extremely high flux solely driven by gravity as mentioned in this paper.

Degradation and resilience in Louisiana salt marshes after the BP–Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Brian R. Silliman,Johan van de Koppel,Michael W. McCoy,Jessica Diller,Gabriel N. Kasozi,Kamala Earl,Peter N. Adams,Andrew R. Zimmerman +7 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted that heavy oil coverage on the shorelines of Louisiana marshes, already experiencing elevated retreat because of intense human activities, induced a geomorphic feedback that amplified this erosion and thereby set limits to the recovery of otherwise resilient vegetation.
Book
Mycoremediation: Fungal Bioremediation
TL;DR: This work focuses on the treatment of Fungal Biodegradation and Biodeterioration of Petroleum Hydrocarbons, and the relationships between Hydrocarbon Metabolism by Yeasts and Fungi and Alternative Treatment Technologies.

Irving A. Mendelssohn,Gary L. Andersen,Donald M. Baltz,Rex H. Caffey,Kevin R. Carman,John W. Fleeger,Samantha B. Joye,Qianxin Lin,Edward Maltby,Edward B. Overton,Lawrence P. Rozas +10 more
TL;DR: A basic overview of the chemistry and biology of oil spills in coastal wetlands and an assessment of the potential and realized effects on the ecological condition of the Mississippi River Delta and its associated flora and fauna are provided.

Aeration in Higher Plants
TL;DR: This chapter collates the mathematical approaches to the aeration process and explains the concepts of modeling in a simplified manner, which have culminated in the modeling of the oxygen movements within the plant.

Everglades: The Ecosystem and Its Restoration
Steve Davis,John C. Ogden +1 more
TL;DR: DeAngelis et al. as discussed by the authors used a computer model to simulate natural Everglades hydrology and found that water levels in the Southern Everglade can change with the amount of fresh water in the watershed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field evaluations of marine oil spill bioremediation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that bioremediation should now take its place among the many techniques available for the treatment of oil spills, although there is still a clear need to set operational limits for its use.

Spartina alterniflora die-back in louisiana: time-course investigation of soil waterlogging effects
TL;DR: Sulphide toxicity, in combination with extended periods of anaerobic metabolism in the roots, appeared to be a major factor associated with reduced growth of S. alterniflora and may be a cause of dieback in these marshes.
Land loss in the Mississippi River Deltaic Plain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the long-term trend of net progradation, which persisted through most of the past 5000 years, was reversed during the late nineteenth century, and during the twentieth century land-loss rates have accelerated geometrically.
