“…Based on the early work of Lyman (1957), Edmond and Gieskes (1970) presented a set of equations for K, and K, as a function of temperature (very close to the classic pure-water equations of Hamed and Davis 1943) and chlorinity. These equations were revised by Mook and Koene (1975) for very low chlorinity by using the exact form of the Harned and Davis (1943) equations plus a chlorinity term. In this work, we use K, and K2 of Mehrbach et al (1973) at high salinities, those of Edmond and Gieskes (1970) and Mook and Koene (1975) at low salinities, and those of Harned and Davis (1943) at salinities near 0.…”

“…Fig. 4 plots the constants of Mehrbach et al (1973) (as given in Plath et al 1980), Edmond and Gieskes (1970), and Mook and Koene (1975) against salinity (let S = 1.80655 X Cl). For K,, the different sets agree at a salinity of 13-15.…”

“…In this work at a temperature near 2O"C, for S > 15 and >20, K, and K,, respectively, are taken from Mehrbach. Below a salinity of 15, K, of Mook and Koene (1975) is taken. Below a salinity of 20, K2 of the Edmond and Gieskes (1970) is used.…”

“…Below a salinity of 20, K2 of the Edmond and Gieskes (1970) is used. K, of Mook and Koene (1975) can only be used in an extremely low salinity range (cO.02) and is not used in this work. Salinity of CO.02 is considered as 0 in our work.…”

“…The above two equations hold at salinities between 0 and 40. Here, as in the original equation of Mook and Koene (1975), the first three terms are from Hamed and Davis (1943). A linear term on salinity is added to the original equations.…”

The pH, alkalinity (Alk), and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in estuarine waters of several rivers of Georgia in the southeastern United States are reported. Although they discharge into a narrow area in the South Atlantic Bight, the rivers along the coast of Georgia differ significantly in their drainage area (Piedmont rivers vs. coastal plain rivers), chemical composition (contents of carbonate and humics), and discharge rates. Large differences in pH, DIC, and Alk between these rivers clearly reflect the differences of material inputs to the rivers. Dramatic pH increases in the early stage of mixing (more obvious for the coastal plain rivers) reflect the low buffering capacity of the river waters despite the high content of humic substances. Flux of riverine DIC to the South Atlantic Bight is estimated to be 52.5 X lo9 mol yr-*. We suggest that the presently available world total riverine DIC flux to the ocean could have much uncertainty if the small river fluxes are important. Calculated pC0, values from the pH and DIC measurements are extremely high in low-salinity areas (1,000 to >6,000 patm at salinity < 10) as are the corresponding CO, fluxes to the atmosphere (20 to >250 mol m-* yr-I at salinity

Marine coastal areas are increasingly affected by human activities resulting in changes in species and habitat distributions. Understanding these patterns and its causes and consequences is important for conservation and restoration of such changing habitats. One habitat that has been heavily affected by human use are the North Sea oyster beds which once were abundant but have lost large parts of its coastal distribution due to overexploitation. Based on data of living and dead assemblages of Ostrea edulis collected using video transects, we used an ensemble modeling technique to model and predict current and recent distribution of O. edulis along the Swedish west coast where its distribution is, in relative terms, still rather unaffected. We could detect a recent change in the distribution of O. edulis along the coast which to a large extent could be attributed to a change in depth distribution, suggesting that the population of O. edulis have a slightly shallower distribution today than in the past. Although a potential mismatch between living and dead assemblages, caused by a complex combination of biological and environmental conditions, needs to be considered in the interpretations drawn, it may be a way around the lack of suitable background data in management decisions. This provides important information for management and conservation of the native oyster beds. Furthermore, this study illustrates a method for identifying recent changes in species distribution using dead assemblages of bivalves.
