A water quality assessment of the Maryland Coastal Bays including nitrogen source identification using stable isotopes
Jones A, Carruthers T, Pantus F, Thomas J, Saxby T, Dennison W. 2004. A water quality assessment of the Maryland Coastal Bays including nitrogen source identification using stable isotopes. Location not listed
An assessment of the Maryland Coastal Bays was conducted during June of 2004. A relativelynew technique using stable isotope ratios of macroalgae incubated in situ was used to determine the impacts of point sources such as sewage and septic derived nitrogen. A suite of more traditional parameters was also measured to produce spatially explicit maps of water quality.
