摘要: We examined benthic condition in three small watersheds the Chesapeake Bay. Characterization of was based on combined measurements fauna, sediment toxicity, and contaminant loads. Significant differences between were detected for concentrations water quality. The intensity impairment greatest river surrounded by most developed watershed. Spatial patterns within all watersheds. In contrast to current, intense focus nutrient pollution Bay, qualitative comparison our findings land-use supports other studies that suggest tributaries Bay may more closely relate urbanization than agricultural land uses.
