Domain-specific

• Estuary
  • Short residence times export nutrients; long ones allow phytoplankton production, denitrification, and sedimentation to process them in place

    This sourceNixon and colleagues' North Atlantic nutrient budget, which established that the fraction of estuarine nitrogen and phosphorus exported seaward is inversely related to the log mean water residence time, with denitrification - scaling directly with residence time - and sediment burial as the in-place removal routes.
