Nutrient Limitation in Chesapeake Bay and its Tributaries
Nutrient Limitation in Chesapeake Bay and its Tributaries
This project is aimed toward better understanding nutrient limitation of phytoplankton in Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries. Leveraging novel statistical approaches and long-term monitoring data sets from the Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership, this project helps understand whether nutrient limitation patterns have changed in response to decades of nutrient reduction efforts. These insights can help inform management strategies called for in the Chesapeake Bay TMDL, explain changes in tidal water quality, and facilitate future refinements of Chesapeake Bay estuarine models.
