The Land-Sea Interactions Related to Ecosystems : The Yukon River and Bering Sea
For salmon's going up, the Yukon River in Alaska is known to be the longest river in the world. In order to explore the effects of mass and heat fluxes of the river on the ecosystem in the Bering Sea, discharge, turbidity and water temperature were monitored in the middle and downstream reaches...
