Integrated modelling of faecal contamination in a densely populated river-sea continuum (Scheldt River and Estuary).
In order to simulate the long-term (months-years) median Escherichia coli distributions and variations in the tidal Scheldt River and Estuary, a dedicated module was developed for the Second-generation Louvain-la-Neuve Ice-ocean Model (SLIM, www.climate.be/slim). The resulting model (SLIM-EC2) presents two specific and new features compared to the older SLIM-EC model version. The first is that ...
متن کاملPlanktonic and Whole System Metabolism in a Nutrient-rich Estuary (the Scheldt Estuary)
Planktonic gross primary production (GPP), community respiration (CR), and nitrification (NIT) were measured monthly in the Scheldt estuary by the oxygen incubation method in 2003. No significant evolution of planktonic GPP was observed since the 1990s with high rates in the freshwater area (salinity 0; 97 6 65 mmol C m d) decreasing seaward (22–37 mmol C m d). A significant decrease of NIT was...
متن کامل2 Comparison of nitrifier activity versus growth in the Scheldt estuary - a turbid, tidal estuary in northern Europe
Nitrification, the microbial oxidation of ammonium (NH4 ), is one of the key nitrogen transformation processes. It is performed under oxic conditions by 2 groups of bacteria, one group that oxidizes ammonium to nitrite (NO2 ) and a second group that further oxidizes nitrite to nitrate (NO − 3 ). Nitrification links organic matter mineralization (ammonification) and nitrogen removal through deni...
متن کاملWater Quality within the York River Estuary
Key water quality management issues and threats within the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries include excess loadings of sediment and nutrients, and the introduction of toxic chemicals and microbial agents. Poor water clarity, principally controlled by suspended sediments and phytoplankton, is a persistent and widespread problem in the York River estuary with the oligohaline and middle me...
