^[1]^[2]^[3]My group is creating a new article, "Nutrient Cycling in the Columbia River Basin". Our primary focus will be on the nitrogen cycle, and silica cycle within this area, and describe the sources and sinks. We may expand to include phosphorus depending on what we can find in the literature. My particular focus on the topic will be on the dynamics of aqueous nutrients, like nitrogen in this system. We want to organize the article according to the location in the Columbia River Basin, and want to split it up into 4 sections: Headwaters, Main River Body, Dams, and Estuary/ Mouth of the River.

A few potential sources are as follows:

Gilbert, Melissa, et al. "Nutrient loading and transformations in the Columbia River estuary determined by high-resolution in situ sensors." Estuaries and coasts 36.4 (2013): 708-727.

Herfort, L., Peterson, T.D., Prahl, F.G. et al. Estuaries and Coasts (2012) 35: 878. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-012-9485-z

Stefánsson, Unnsteinn, and Francis A. Richards. "Processes contributing to the nutrient distribution off the Columbia River and Strait of Juan de Fuca." Limnology and Oceanography 8.4 (1963): 394-410.

Our outline for the article:

Introduction/heading
General Nutrient Dynamics
1. PDO and ENSO
2. Estuarian Mixing
3. Near-surface and nearshore denitrification—nitrogen can be released as a gas in the presence of bacteria
4. Uptake by algae and plants in the water column
5. Organic matter burial into the mud and sediment
6. Anaerobic bacterial processes (often through ammonia generation)
Whole Basin Nutrient Fluxes
1. Natural Sources
  1. Leafe litter
  2. Tributaries
2. Anthroprogenic Sources
3. Head water sources
  1. Salmon breeding
  2. ...
4. Dams
  1. Silicate stoage
  2. Salmon
  3. Changed to mixing and transport dynamics
5. Estuary
  1. Turbidity
  2. Blooms
  3. Turn over rates
6. Ocean exchange
  1. Nitrate source
  2. Silicate transport
  3. Nitrogen seasonality and PDO/ENSO
