5 FIGURE 3.5 The most common kinetic model used to estimate rates of gas exchange across the atmosphere–water boundary is the stagnant film model. This model essentially has the following three regions of importance: (i) a well-mixed turbulent atmospheric zone (PG), (ii) a well-mixed thin-film liquid zone (PG), and (iii) a laminar zone (a and b) separating the two turbulent regions. The thin film is considered permanent with a thickness defined as z. Source: From Broecker and Peng (1974). ESTUARINE ECOLOGY, Second Edition. John W. Day JR, Byron C. Crump, W.

6 FIGURE 3.6 A conceptual diagram showing that while the ETM roughly tracks the limit of salt, it was often decoupled from the salt front (defined here at the isohaline with a salinity of 1), due to a lag of ETM sediment resuspension/ transport from rapid meteorologically driven movement of the salt front.

9 FIGURE 3.9 Pathways of the sum of all biochemical processes is called metabolism. It is differentiated as primary and secondary metabolism. Primary metabolism contains all pathways necessary to keep the cell alive,whereas in secondary metabolism, compounds are produced and broken down that are essential for the entire organism.

FIGURE Schematic of nitrogen sources and cycling in estuaries. These sources include a diverse group of diffuse point and nonpoint agricultural, urban, and rural sources (e.g., wastewater, industrial discharges, stormwater, and overflow discharges) across a broad spectrum of watersheds (e.g., urban, agricultural, and upland and lowland forests.

11 FIGURE Major processes involved in the biogeochemical cycling of N in estuaries and the coastal ocean: (i) biological N2-fixation (BNF), (ii) ammonia assimilation, (iii) nitrification, (iv) assimilatory NO3¯reduction, (v) ammonification or N-remineralization, (vi) ammonium oxidation (speculative at this time), (vii) denitrification and dissimilatory NO3¯reduction to NH4+, and (viii) assimilation of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON).

13 FIGURE Major pathways of the N cycle in sediments (a) and as a function of redox conditions in bottom waters and sediments (b). Both diffusive and advective processes strongly control the distribution of O and N compounds, which ultimately affect the coupling between nitrification and denitrification.
