Physicochemical and urban land-use characteristics associated with resistance to precipitation in estuaries vary across scales

Estuaries are subject to frequent stressors, including elevated nutrient loading and extreme hydrologic events, which impact water quality and disrupt ecosystem stability and function. The capacity of an estuary to resist changes in function in response to precipitation events is...

Optimizing a long‐term monitoring strategy to track emerging cyanobacterial blooms in a Great Lakes estuary

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are increasingly frequent and severe globally. Recently, the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE) has experienced numerous cHABs, but the locations, timing, and environmental conditions associated with them are unknown. We first investigated...
