Seasonal Self-Purification Process of Nutrients Entering Coastal Water from Land-Based Sources in Tieshan Bay, China: Insights from Incubation Experiments
Journal: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Year: 2025

Nutrients function as essential biological substrates for coastal phytoplankton growth and serve as pivotal indicators in marine environmental monitoring. The intensification of land-based nutrient sources inputs has exacerbated eutrophication in Chinese coastal water, while mechanistic understanding of differential self-purification processes among distinct land-based source nutrients (river source, domestic source, aquaculture source, and industrial source) remains limited, constraining accura
