| Popis: | Water quality in coastal and estuarine systems is dictated by nutrient supply and circulation. However, convoluted coastlines, intermittent river discharge, complex currents, and variable nutrient inputs and transformations, confound interpretation of sparse water quality observations. In high use regions with competing human activities, this system complexity precludes identification of factors causing poor water quality, which can lead to conflict between users. High resolution 3D hydrodynamic and biogeochemical models can simulate the dynamics of a region and demonstrate nutrient pathways in convoluted systems. Here, we use a 3D coupled hydrodynamic, sediment and biogeochemical model to investigate the fine-scale ( |
