1998 Florida Bay Science Conference Abstracts: central questions
Includes abstracts of presentations addressing five key subject areas: Paleoecology Program; Question 1: How and at what rates do storms, changing freshwater flows, sealevel rise, and local evaporation/precipitation patterns influence circulationand salinity patterns within Florida Bay and outflows from the Bay toadjacent waters? Question 2: What is the relative importance of the advection of exogenousnutrients, internal nutrient cycling including exchange between water columnand sedimentary nutrient sources, and nitrogen fixation in determining thenutrient budget of Florida Bay?Question 3: What regulates the onset, persistence and fate of planktonic algalblooms in Florida Bay?Question 4: What are the causes and mechanisms for the observed changesin seagrass and the hardbottom community of Florida Bay? What is the effectof changing salinity, light, and nutrient regimes on these communities?Question 5: What is the relationship between environmental change, habitat change, and the recruitment, growth, and survivorship of higher trophic level species?
