Abstract

The tidal exchange of ammonia-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total organic carbon between coastal lagoons and the marine environment were determined. Constituent measurements were made in Huizache-Caimanero Lagoon in Northwest Mexico over 24-h sampling periods during both dry and wet seasons. The exchange of these nutrients was also compared to exchanges in estuarine marshes of other latitudes. High exchange rates were found to be associated to extreme climatic events.
