Image_1_Reassessing Particulate Organic Carbon Dynamics in the Highly Disturbed San Francisco Bay Estuary.TIF by Peter J. Hernes (8640351)

“…In this study, we collected particulate samples in the northern San Francisco Bay Estuary (SFBE) in the fall of 2011 through the spring of 2012 in order to assess vascular plant contributions across both time and space and to compare our findings with a similar set of samples from 1990 to 1992. Across the ∼20-year span, we detected (1) decreasing C:N_a ratios (averages ± SD of 12.5 ± 2.5 vs. 8.8 ± 1.4, significant t-test with p < 0.0001); (2) distinct shifts in chlorophyll vs. salinity, with higher chlorophyll concentrations shifting toward freshwater; and (3) greater relative proportions of vascular plant carbon that also appears less degraded (as indicated by lignin measurements) shifting from freshwater toward higher salinities. …”
