Article Synopsis
- Researchers assessed the impact of nonpoint source nutrients on the eutrophic Barnegat Bay, using stable isotope measurements of nitrogen and carbon across 35 sampling stations.
- The study identified four geographic zones with different isotopic baselines, indicating varied nutrient sources and processing pathways, revealing a clear terrestrial-marine gradient.
- Findings showed that nitrogen signatures in the urbanized area were less influenced by anthropogenic runoff than expected, and over time, nitrogen values in consumers have decreased, highlighting water quality issues particularly in the poorly flushed regions of the bay.
