journal imagesUMCES researchers are recognized worldwide for their contribution to expanding our understanding of coastal, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. That contribution is most evident in the number and quality of peer-reviewed journal articles published each year.

The UMCES in the Publications database is a searchable listing of our contributions to the scientific community.

You may search by author, subject, year, etc.



Elucidating terrestrial nutrient sources to a coastal lagoon, Chincoteague Bay, Maryland, USA
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science

Long-term non-linear ecosystem-scale changes in water quality and biotic communities in coastal lagoons have been associated with intensification of anthropogenic pressures.

Spatial variations in the distribution of yearling spring Chinook salmon off Washington and Oregon using COZIGAM analysis
Marine Ecology Progress Series

Yearling Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha were sampled off Washington and Oregon, USA, along with environmental factors, every June from 1998 to 2010.

Megacities in the coastal zone: Using a driver-pressure-state-impact-response framework to address complex environmental problems
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science

Planktonic bacteria are abundant in the Bering Sea. However, very little is known about their diversity and the roles of various bacteria in the ocean.

Do inverse ecosystem models accurately reconstruct plankton trophic flows? Comparing two solution methods using field data from the California Current
Journal Of Marine Systems
2012

Despite the increasing use of linear inverse modeling techniques to elucidate fluxes in undersampled marine ecosystems, the accuracy with which they estimate food web flows has not been resolved.
