Spatio-temporal distribution of temperature, salinity and suspended sediment on the deltaic front of the Magdalena River: Influence on nutrient concentration and primary productivity

The characteristics of estuaries depend mainly on the magnitude and variability of river discharge and tidal forcing (Kjerfve, 1994). Estuaries present strong temporal and spatial gradients with respect to their physical, chemical and biological properties, as a result of changes in fluvial contribu...
