Seasonal Changes in Microbial Community Structure in Freshwater Stream Sediment in a North Carolina River Basin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined seasonal differences in microbial community structure in the sediment of three streams in North Carolina's Neuse River Basin, and found that the bacterial groups were separated by wet and dry seasonal periods, and that these communities may respond to changes in precipitation during wetter periods.

Stable isotope analyses (δ15N and δ13C) of the trophic relationships ofCallinectes sapidus in two North Carolina estuaries
TL;DR: It is found that blue crab δ13C values increased with salinity from upper to lower regions along both estuaries, and consumers sampled from the upper NRE may be influenced by higher nitrogen input from urban land use and municipal wastewater.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored patterns of terrestrial−marine connectivity in a large, temperate estuary using a combination of oceanographic modeling and isotopic mixing models, and found that oyster production may be driven more by coastal and marine primary production than by riverine sources, even in a fjord subject to strong freshwater influences.
A comparison of blue crab and bivalve δ15N tissue enrichment in two North Carolina estuaries
TL;DR: It is suggested that a relationship may exist between nutrient sources and subsequent energy transfer to estuarine consumers in two North Carolina estuaries and an inverse relationship exists between invertebrate tissue enrichment and indicators of water quality across estuarist sites.

Metabarcoding assessment of prokaryotic and eukaryotic taxa in sediments from Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.
TL;DR: The levels of biodiversity seen on this small spatial scale suggest that benthic communities of this area support a diverse array of micro- and macro-organisms, and provide a baseline for future studies to assess changes in community structure in response to rapid warming in the Gulf of Maine.
