Factors Effecting Phytoplankton Assemblages in the Lafayette River Estuary
… species composition and abundance in the Lafayette River from August to October 1981. Stations located in four distinct areas of the river were statistically analyzed to determine data relationships. Environmental factors considered as potentially influencing the presence and numbers of …

The Effects of Varying Fresh Water Discharge on Dispersion in an Estuarine Hydraulic Model of the Lafayette River, Norfolk, Virginia
<p>Three experimental tests were conducted in the Lafayette River branch of the Chesapeake Bay Hydraulic Model, each successive test with an increase in the amount of fresh water discharged into the head of the river. This was done to study the response from varying river discharge on mixing …

Controls on the Formation of Algal Blooms in the Lower Chesapeake Bay and Its Tributaries
… that promote the initiation of algal blooms, the Lafayette River, a tidal sub-estuary of Chesapeake Bay that experiences seasonal algal blooms, was sampled daily in the fall of 2005. Three phytoplankton blooms (Chlorophyll <em>a</em> concentrations exceeding twice the average of monthly …

Submarine Groundwater Discharge in the Southern Chesapeake Bay: Constraints From Numerical Models
… Virginia transects (southern Eastern Shore, Lafayette River, and Ocean View beach) with different topographic gradients were modeled using similar boundary conditions and consistent treatment of hydrogeologic layers. A sensitivity study was performed on the variables of recharge rate, …

Sediment Resuspension in a Microtidal Estuary: Causative Forces and Links with Algal Blooms
… in the growth of algal blooms observed in the Lafayette River. The link between sediment resuspension, elevated nutrient and Chl <em>a</em> concentrations, was supported via observations of elevated near-bed concentrations of ammonium and nitrate/nitrite concentrations. Nutrient concentrations …

Investigations of Phytoplankton Diversity in Chesapeake Bay
… nutrient loading, daily sampling of the Lafayette River, was conducted in spring 2006. During consecutive blooms of <em>Cryptomonas</em> sp. and <em>Gymnodinium instriatum</em> up to 99% of total biomass was due to the individual bloom species, although species richness was not …
