Flux calculations demonstrate that many estuaries are natural filters for trace metals. Yet, the underlying processes are poorly investigated. In the present study, it was hypothesized that intertidal marshes contribute significantly to the contamina

Background The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set limits on sulphur content in fuels for marine transport. However, vessels continue to use these residual high-sulphur fuels in combination with exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS or scr

The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a damaging invader which is designated as a species of Union Concern within the European Union. A negative impact of the crabs on macrophyte vegetation in lowland rivers is suspected but not yet proven

This study investigates the trophic transfer of persistent organic pollutants (POPs: PCBs, PBDEs, OCPs and PFASs) in the subtropical aquatic ecosystem of the Olifants River Basin (South Africa) by means of trophic magnification factors (TMFs). Relati

The Vegetation Silica Pool in a Developing Tidal Freshwater Marsh

Publikováno v: Silicon

Tidal marshes play an important role in the estuarine Si cycle. Dissolved silicon (DSi) is taken up by marsh diatom communities and by tidal marsh vegetation. Delivery of DSi back to the estuary after biogenic silica dissolution potentially increases
