Influence of elevated river flow on hypoxia occurrence, nutrient concentration and microbial dynamics in a tropical estuary

Abstract

We sampled the Klang estuary during the inter-monsoon and northeast monsoon period (July–Nov 2011, Oct–Nov 2012), which coincided with higher rainfall and elevated Klang River flow. The increased freshwater inflow into the estuary resulted in water column stratification that was observed during both sampling periods.
