Abstract

Being extremely turbid environments characterised by short residence times and rapid changes in salinity, the upper reaches of estuaries comprise an extreme environment for phytoplankton to live and grow in. Nevertheless, in many estuaries including the Schelde estuary, these reaches often support dense phytoplankton populations. In the past, these phytoplankton blooms in the upper reaches of estuaries have often been found difficult to explain. In this presentation, we will describe the extent and composition of phytoplankton blooms in the upper Schelde estuary and aim to evaluate the environmental conditions that allow these blooms to occur. In addition, the importance of these blooms in the functioning of the Schelde ecosystem will be discussed.
