The nature of an estuary reflects complex responses to many driving forces, each having a characteristic frequency (or frequencies) of change. For example, freshwater inflow to estuaries varies daily in response to short-term events such as storms, seasonally, and between years as a result of longer-term climatic variability. Other important components of weather, e. g. wind speed/ direction and daily insolation, also vary over time scales ranging from hours to years. Tidal amplitude changes continuously with dominant frequencies associated with the semi-diurnal cycle, the fortnightly neap-spring, and the semi-annual cycle. Temporal dynamics of these driving forces evoke responses in the form of changing (I) circulation patterns and mixing, (2) sediment composition and transport, (3) solute speciation and distribution, (4) composition and abundance of particulates, (5) biomass, species composition, and productivity of plant and animal communities, (6) rates of material exchange between the sediments, wat | 出版日期 | Book 1985 | 关键词 | benthic; environment; fluxes; phytoplankton; plankton; temporal dynamics; zooplankton | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-5528-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-8940-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-5528-8 | copyright | Dr W.
