Changes in submerged aquatic macrophyte populations at the head of Chesapeake Bay, 1958-1975 Changes in submerged aquatic macrophyte populations at the head of Chesapeake Bay, 1958-1975

Submerged aquatic plant populations in the Susquehanna Flats of the Chesapeake Bay were followed for 18 years. An exotic species, eurasian water milfoil, Myriophyllum spicatum, increased dramatically from 1958 to 1962; at the same time the dominant native species declined. After 1962, milfoil populations declined and the native rooted aquatics gradually began to return to their former...

Heavy-mineral variability in bottom sediments of the lower Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Heavy-mineral variability in bottom sediments of the lower Chesapeake Bay, Virginia

Heavy minerals in bottom-sediment samples of the lower Chesapeake Bay show distribution patterns and interrelationships that denote characteristic mineral suites associated with defined geographic provinces. The Baymouth province has a garnet-hornblende-pyroxene suite, which is largely attributed to the influx of littoral and shelf sediments; the Eastern Shore province has a similar...

Impact of estuarine pollution on birds Impact of estuarine pollution on birds

Pollution of estuaries affects bird populations indirectly through changes in habitat and food supply. The multi-factor pollution of Chesapeake Bay has resulted in diminution of submerged aquatic plants and consequent change in food habits of the canvasback duck. Although dredge-spoil operations can improve wildlife habitat, they often result in its demise. Pollution of estuaries also...
