Nutrients (organic C, P, N, Si) in the eutrophic river Loire (France) and its estuary

The Loire estuary has been surveyed from 1982 to 1985 by 13 isochronous longitudinal profiles realized at low tide. Nutrient (SiO sub(2), NO sub(3) super(-), NH sub(4) super(+), PO sub(4) super(3) super(-), particulate organic carbon or POC) patterns are very variable depending on the season, the es...

Zusammenfassung:The Loire estuary has been surveyed from 1982 to 1985 by 13 isochronous longitudinal profiles realized at low tide. Nutrient (SiO sub(2), NO sub(3) super(-), NH sub(4) super(+), PO sub(4) super(3) super(-), particulate organic carbon or POC) patterns are very variable depending on the season, the estuarine section (river, upper-inner estuary, upstream of the fresh-water-saline-water interphase FSI, the lower-inner estuary characterized by the high turbidity zone (HTZ), the outer estuary) and the river discharge. Biological processes are dominant.
