We quantified the effects of initial macroalgal tissue nitrogen (N) status (depleted and enriched) varying pulses nitrate (NO3- ) concentration on uptake storage in Ulva intestinalis L. expansa (Setch.) Setch. et N. Gardner using mesocosms modeling shallow coastal estuaries Mediterranean climates. Uptake NO3- (μmol · g dry weight [dwt]-1 h-1 was measured as loss from water after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h total (% dwt) (ppm). Both species algae exhibited a high affinity for across all N contents....

Participation in field experiences has been shown to increase students’ confidence, scientific identity, retention, and academic performance (Beltran et al., 2020; Zavaleta 2020). This is particularly true for students from historically excluded groups ecology evolutionary biology (EEB). For the purposes of this paper novel funding program described herein, are learning research opportunities natural settings that provide with hands-on, discipline-specific practice experience (e.g., Morales al.
Upper Newport Bay estuary, Orange County, California, US, was added to the Clean Water Act303(d) list for nutrients, due in part excessive growth of macroalgae during certainseasons. In 1998, a Total Maximum Daily Load nitrogen and phosphorus adopted forSan Diego Creek, largest tributary estuary. As implementation theTMDL, N P water quality objectives were evaluated. Insufficient data available todetermine whether they appropriate; therefore, mechanistic studies investigating theprocesses...
