Interactions Among Chemical Speciation, Algal Accumulation, and Biogeochemical Cycling of Toxic Metals in a Major US Naval Harbor (Elizabeth River, VA)

Abstract

Our long-term research goal was to determine the mechanisms and factors that regulate the uptake of pollutant metals by phytoplankton and other particles in estuaries and the effect of this uptake on the removal and biogeochemical cycling of metals.
