Phytoplankton community ecology: principles applied in San Francisco Bay (2005, unknown): “The bloom mechanism in nutrient-rich San Francisco Bay is a release from strong light limitation by other physical processes, including runoff-induced salinity stratification (Cloern 1996) or increased euphotic-zone depth as sediment suspension is damped during weak neap tides (May et al. 2003).”
Summer algal blooms in shallow estuaries: Definition, mechanisms, and link to eutrophication (2007, background): “We suggest the following five mechanisms for establishment of summer blooms in temperate, shallow estuaries: ( 1 ) external inputs of nutrients from land, atmosphere, or sediments converted into biomass through active growth; (2) enhanced growth through improved light conditions; (3) decoupling of b”
Phytoplankton primary production in the world's estuarine-coastal ecosystems (2013, background): “Many estuaries have high concentrations of mineral sediments delivered by land runoff and kept in suspension by wind waves and tidal currents (May et al., 2003).”
