Abstract Coastal eutrophication and hypoxia remain a persistent environmental crisis despite the great efforts to reduce nutrient loading mitigate associated damages. Symptoms of this have appeared spread rapidly, reaching developing countries in Asia with emergences Southern America Africa. The pace changes underlying drivers not so clear. To address gap, we review up-to-date status mechanisms global coastal oceans, upon which examine trajectories over 40 years or longer six model systems varying socio-economic development statuses different levels histories eutrophication. Although these share common features eutrophication, site-specific characteristics are also substantial, depending on regional setting level social-economic along policy implementation management. Nevertheless, ecosystem recovery generally needs greater reduction pressures compared that initiated degradation becomes less feasible achieve past norms time anthropogenic ecosystems. While qualitative causality between consequences is well established, quantitative attribution remains difficult especially when consider social economic because ecosystems subject multiple influences cause–effect relationship often non-linear. Such relationships further complicated by climate been accelerating few decades. knowledge gaps limit our mechanistic understanding human-coastal ocean nexus identified, essential for science-based making. Recognizing lessons from management practices, advocate better, more efficient indexing system an advanced earth modeling framework optimal modules human dimensions facilitate evaluation effective restoration actions.

Spatiotemporal variation characteristics of sediment nutrient load from the soil erosion of the Yangtze River Basin of China from 1901 to 2010

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 150, P. 110206 - 110206

Over the past 70 years, Yangtze River Basin-the third longest river basin in world-has been under influence of augmented human activities. Regarding environmental protection and policy design, total nitrogen phosphorus (TN TP, respectively) loads from soil erosion are objectively quantitatively critical parameters while assessing spatio-temporal changes over 1901–2010 period. First, our study area was calculated using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model. Second, TN TP were assessed constructed Nutrient Empirical Model (NLEM). Third, we conducted spatial autocorrelation analysis, Mann-Kendall (M–K) trend tests, wavelet analysis erosion, related loads. At Datong Station period, average annual 1.77 0.56 million tonnes, respectively. Moran's I values indicates existence positive correlations, clustering prevailing distribution pattern. High-high (H-H) cluster areas mainly evident high-altitude region western southern Basin, conversely, low-low (L-L) scattered primarily regions with high population density intense increased rapidly around 2001; hence, 2001 a changing point. According to M–K test, time intersection at 1990; 1990 may have point, likely due operation Gezhouba Dam during 1981-1986. This trapped large amounts sediments. If sediment load data control hydrological station 12 sub-basins is available, SDR, load, AN AP calculation could be more accurate interpretable.

Phosphorus trends and hot spots—a spatio-temporal data analysis of phosphorus derived from Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) farms (Florida, USA)

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 197(4)

Published: March 13, 2025

The Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) in South Florida (USA) is a recognized source of total phosphorus (TP) that has impacted downstream oligotrophic marshes. Treatment wetlands, called stormwater treatment areas (STAs), were constructed and subsequently expanded to remediate EAA-derived TP, ideally yielding long-term outflow concentrations the Protection (EvPA) 13 µg/L TP or less. To date, TP-remediation been insufficient relative loads discharged from some EAA basins. We assessed 20 years basin-level farm-level concentration data with goal understanding trends over time identifying hot spots. Using monitoring water year (WY) 2000 through WY 2019, farms averaged 74.68 ± 38.87 was as high 269.38 µg/L. identified spatial temporal variations concentration, farm outflow, load, flow-weighted mean farms. basins showed presence decreasing trend between 2012 increasing for more recent period 2010 2019. nine-parameter Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), we observed 31% posed above-average pollution risk, including 22 S-5A 17 S-6 These spot are primary candidate sites targeted interventions aimed at reducing runoff, alleviating burden on STAs, offsetting trend.
