Effect of oysters Crassostrea virginica and bottom shear velocity on benthic–pelagic coupling and estuarine water quality
Porter, Elka T.; Cornwell, Jeffrey C.; Sanford, Lawrence P. (Inter-Research, 2004)Increasing the biomass of bivalve suspensions feeders has been proposed as a means to improve water quality in eutrophic estuaries such as the Chesapeake Bay. However, water quality impacts are likely to be determined by ... -
Effect of tidal resuspension on benthic–pelagic coupling in an experimental ecosystem study
Porter, Elka T.; Mason, Robert P.; Sanford, Lawrence P. (Inter-Research, 2010)To test the effect of sediment resuspension on the nutrient and ecosystem dynamics we performed a 4 wk experiment in three 1000 l shear-turbulence-resuspension-mesocosm (STURM) resuspension (R) tanks and three 1000 l ... -
Effects of shear stress and hard clams on seston, microphytobenthos, and nitrogen dynamics in mesocosms with tidal resuspension
Porter, Elka T.; Mason, Robert P.; Sanford, Lawrence P. (Inter-Research, 2013)To test the interacting effects of hard clams Mercenaria mercenaria and bottom shear stress on nutrient- and ecosystem dynamics, we performed a 4 wk experiment in six 1000 l shear turbulence resuspension mesocosms (STURM). ... -
Gypsum dissolution is not a universal integrator of ‘water motion’
Porter, Elka T.; Sanford, Lawrence P.; Suttles, Steven E. (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc., 2000)The dissolution of gypsum or plaster of Paris has been widely used as an inexpensive integral measure of ‘water motion’ in the field and in laboratory tanks for studies of physical–biological interactions. Commonly, ...
