Human Impact
An ecosystem effected by watershed changes
What is an estuary or coastal environment?
Carbon isotope used in Conservative Mixing of Stable Isotopes across Estuarine Salinity Gradients: A Conceptual Framework for Monitoring Watershed Influences on Downstream Fisheries Production
What is δ13C?
Nitrogen isotope used in Conservative Mixing of Stable Isotopes across Estuarine Salinity Gradients: A Conceptual Framework for Monitoring Watershed Influences on Downstream Fisheries Production
What is δ15N?
The relationship between salinity and the isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen
What is a positive, linear correlation?
Compound used to measure sulfur concentrations and isotope values
What is sulfate?
Human impact on nutrient loading into estuaries
What is an increase?
Trend of carbon isotope values across salinity gradient when DIC concentrations are constant
What is a positive linear correlation?
Relative nitrogen concentration and nitrogen isotope value in freshwater when system is eutrophied (high or low?)
What is high?
Reason salinity and water isotope (H and O) values correlate
What is a constant concentration? (55.6M)
Effect of strong dependence on benthic sources on sulfur isotope values
What are lowered sulfur isotope values?
Human impact freshwater inflow into estuaries
What is a decrease?
Curve of carbon isotope values in system with fresh to salt ratio of 1:10 compared to system with 5:8 (deeper or flatter?)
What is deeper?
Relative nitrogen concentration and nitrogen isotope value in freshwater when system is pristine (high or low?)
What is low?
Trend of water isotopes across salinity gradient if freshwater:oceanic increases (greater or smaller slope?)
What is a greater slope?
Trend of sulfur isotope values across salinity gradient in typical estuarine system
What is constant EXCEPT for lowered values freshwater?
