Abstract:
This study is to determine the distribution, flux and relationship of dissolved nitrogen, dissolved phosphorus and chlorophyll-a (productivity), that are then used to develop the dissolved nitrogen, dissolved phosphorus and productivity (chlorophyll-a) fluxes model in the Terengganu River Estuary using the Land-ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zones (LOICZ) Biogeochemical Modelling Guidelines. Dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus and chlorophyll-a water samples were collected from 16 sampling stations in the rivers (Terengganu River and Nerus River), estuary and coastal water during the Northeast, Southwest and Inter-monsoon seasons as well as during low and high tides from January to November 2010.
