Dissolved oxygen and pH relationships in northern Australian mangrove waterways

Abstract

Consistent, highly significant linear correlations (r2≥ 0.8) between pH and dissolved oxygen levels have been found in northern Australian mangrove waterways. These properties seem to be influenced by dissolved organic matter, mainly polyphenolic compounds, present in the creeks and tidal channel waters. © 1981, by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc.
