Signals from the benthos: Development and evaluation of a benthic index for the nearshore Gulf of Maine
We developed a benthic index for the nearshore Gulf of Maine to provide researchers and environmental managers a way to make spatial and year-to-year comparisons of benthic condition. The data set used included 248 stations sampled for physical, chemical, and biological variables by the National Coastal Assessment in 2000–2003. We used logistic regression with 49 candidate measures of benthic s...
متن کاملEpibenthic Fishes and Decapod Crustaceans in Northern Estuaries: A Comparison of Vegetated and Unvegetated Habitats in Maine
Species richness and abundance of epibenthic fishes and decapod crustaceans were quantified with daytime beam trawl tows and throw traps to provide information on nekton assemblages in Zostera marina and unvegetated sandy habitats in northern latitudes. Sampling at randomly selected stations with a 1.0-m beam trawl occurred in eelgrass (Zostera marina) and unvegetated sandy substrates of two mi...
متن کاملSource Fingerprinting of Sediment Deposited in the Dam Reservoir: A Case of Lavar Dam Watershed, Fin, Hormozgan Province
Extended abstract 1. Introduction Soil erosion is a major environmental threat worldwide. This three-stage process including detachment, transportation and sedimentation of soil particle by runoff affects natural and agricultural areas of Iran. Soil erosion has many off-site and on-site effects such as sediment deposition in the lake of dam and channels, transportation of nutrients and contam...
متن کاملA mass budget of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in San Francisco Bay, CA.
A mass budget of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in San Francisco Bay is developed as a first step towards understanding the local sources and transport processes controlling PBDE fate in a highly urbanized estuary. Extensive monitoring of PBDEs in estuarine water and sediment, freshwater tributaries, air, and wastewater effluents and sludges were integrated with a mass budget model to p...
متن کاملSuspended sediment and sediment-associated contaminants in San Francisco Bay.
Water-quality managers desire information on the temporal and spatial variability of contaminant concentrations and the magnitudes of watershed and bed-sediment loads in San Francisco Bay. To help provide this information, the Regional Monitoring Program for Trace Substances in the San Francisco Estuary (RMP) takes advantage of the association of many contaminants with sediment particles by con...
