Abstract Terrestrial groundwater travels through subterranean estuaries before reaching the sea. Groundwater‐derived nutrients drive coastal water quality, primary production, and eutrophication. We determined how dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), phosphorus (DIP), organic (DON) are transformed within estimated submarine discharge (SGD) nutrient loads compiling > 10,000 samples from 216 sites worldwide. Nutrients exhibited complex, nonconservative behavior in estuaries. Fresh DIN DIP...

Nitrogen (N) loss rates were determined in permeable sediments of the Wadden Sea using a combination stable N isotope incubation experiments and model simulation approaches during three seasons. Three different methods that employed pairing technique used: intact core incubations simulating either (1) diffusive or (2) advective transport conditions (3) slurry incubations. from under simulated exceeded those measured by 1–2 orders magnitude, but comparable to observed generally showed little...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a ubiquitous source of meteoric fresh and recirculating seawater to the coastal ocean. Due hidden distribution SGD, as well hydraulic- stratigraphy-driven spatial temporal heterogeneities, one biggest challenges date correct assessment SGD-driven constituent fluxes. Here, we present results from 3-dimensional seasonal sampling campaign shallow subterranean estuary in high-energy, meso-tidal beach, Spiekeroog Island, Northern Germany. We determined...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) from intertidal beach systems forms a source of fresh and saline, often nutrient-enriched water to the near-shore across world. The chemical composition solute flux via SGD depends on several factors, including solid phase composition, organic matter supply, hydraulic gradients, as well pore residence time origin, which are partly related topography. High-energy sandy beaches especially prone frequent sediment relocation variable topography,...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an important source of nutrients and metals to the coastal ocean, affects ecosystems, gaining recognition as a relevant water resource. SGD usually quantified using geochemical tracers such radon or radium. However, few studies have also used dissolved silicon (DSi) tracer for SGD, DSi enriched in when compared surface waters. In this study, we discuss potential based on literature review two case from contrasting environments. first calculate fluxes...

Abstract During seawater circulation in permeable intertidal sands, organic matter degradation alters the composition of percolating fluids and remineralization products discharge into surficial waters. Concurrently, coastal nutrient change seasonally due to variations pelagic productivity. To assess seasonal changes zone a high energy beach (Spiekeroog Island, southern North Sea, Germany), we analyzed shallow pore waters for major redox constituents (oxygen [O 2 ], manganese [Mn], iron...
