What is Eutrophication Processes in Coastal Systems : Origin and Succession of Plankton Blooms and Effects on Secondary Production in Gulf Coast Estuaries about?

"Derived from an unprecedented research effort covering over 31 years in a series of studies of 7 major river-estuaries, Eutrophication Processes in Coastal Systems presents a comprehensive and current review of the nature of the eutrophication process and how short- and long-term nutrient loading affects marine systems. This unique book is the culmination of the most advanced research to date on how coastal systems work. Based on an 11 year interdisciplinary study of the Perdido Bay System, Dr. Robert J. Livingston's groundbreaking work offers evidence for significant findings such as:Nutrient concentration gradients in fresh water as it entered the bay were stimulatory to phytoplankton bloomsSpecies that showed distinctive seasonal and interannual successions dominated plankton bloomsHigh relative dominance of bloom species was associated with significant reduction of phytoplankton species richness and diversityThe blooms were associated with major reductions of infaunal and epibenthic macroinvertibrates, forcing a serious disruption of the food webs and losses of secondary productionEutrophication Processes in Coastal Ecosystems goes beyond its innovative analyses of how estuari
