| Popis: | Nutrients (NO3 + NO2, PO4) and total organic carbon (TOC) from Estero de Punta Banda, a coastal lagoon of Baja California (Mexico), were studied during the 1992–93 El Niño. Samples were collected at four sites distributed along the main channel of the lagoon, during four different tidal stages. According to reports in the literature, this coastal lagoon behaves as an antiestuary most of the time, with salinity increasing significantly from the mouth inwards. Greater input of fresh water due to a larger rainfall, well above the annual mean (393 mm), caused the Estero to behave as an estuary, with salinity values of |
