Eutrophication of Chesapeake Bay: historical trends and ecological interactions

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: Chesapeake Bay is a large estuary which has undergone many changes in its ecological properties and processes in response to nutrient enrichment over the last 2 centuries.Susceptibility of the Bay to eutrophication arises in part from the long dendritic shoreline that intimately connects it to its large watershed (covering an area 15 times that of the Bay) which contains expanding human population centers and extensive agricultural activities.
