Suspended particulate matter affects the nutrient budget of turbid estuaries: Modification of the LOICZ model and application to the Yangtze Estuary

The fate of phosphorus in the Yangtze (Changjiang) Estuary, China, under multi-stressors: Hindsight and forecast

“…This model considers the two layers of the salt wedge, which enables the calculation of DIP and DIN fluxes (Xu et al, 2013b) between the different compartments of the estuary, the freshwater reach, the saline reach, and the coastal sea ( Fig. 1).…”

“…1) selected to fulfill the nutrient budget requirements of the muddy-LOICZ model (Swaney et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2013b). The sites belonged to three compartments: S1 representing the riverine system, S2eS5 representing the estuarine system, and S6 representing the marine system.…”

Estuaries of southwest England: Salinity, suspended particulate matter, loss-on-ignition and morphology

“…In addition, high SPM loads can have an effect on estuarine nutrient transformations (Garnier et al, 2010), which can be important and frequently have been overlooked. Xu, et al (2013) suggest that nutrient budgets for turbid estuaries that have ignored the role of SPM in sequestering nutrients (the case with many estuarine biogeochemical models according to Xu et al, 2013) may need to be re-calculated.…”

Spatio-Temporal Variability in a Turbid and Dynamic Tidal Estuarine Environment (Tasmania, Australia): An Assessment of MODIS Band 1 Reflectance

“…Turbidity may affect the physical properties of the water column, such as temperature, dissolved oxygen content, sunlight penetration [1,2]. Turbidity can alter the physical structure of benthic habitat, which will affect benthic flora and fauna [3][4][5][6][7]. High turbidity can also damage water management infrastructure and increase the maintenance costs for these structures [1,8].…”
