Implications of nutrient enrichment and related environmental impacts in the pearl river estuary, china
Characterizing the seasonal influence of riverine input
The Pearl River estuary is an ecologically dynamic region located in southern China that experiences strong gradients in its biogeochemical properties. This study examined the seasonality of nutrient dynamics, identified related environmental responses, and evaluated how river ...
Based on a monthly field survey in 2011 of the Pearl River Estuary, the dynamics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments (depth < 5 cm) were explored. The seasonal variations in PAH level and composition were investigated in this study, as well as th ...
Seasonal behaviour of tidal damping and residual water level slope in the Yangtze River estuary
Identifying the critical position and river discharge for maximum tidal damping
When different tidal constituents propagate along an estuary, they interact because of the presence of nonlinear terms in the hydrodynamic equations. In particular, due to the quadratic velocity in the friction term, the effective friction experienced by both the predominant a ...
