国家河口研究保护区系统（NERRS）由位于美国、阿拉斯加和波多黎各的26个受保护的河口保护区组成，为沿海资源管理项目提供了全面的研究和监测数据库。由NERRS项目实施的综合水质、营养和生物监测方案对于识别和跟踪全国河口系统完整性和生物多样性的短期变化和长期变化具有重要价值。NERRS计划中的四个生物监测领域构成了详细研究计划的基础；这些包括(1)水下水生植物（SAV）和新兴植被（沼泽植物），(2)底栖动物（底栖无脊椎动物和底栖藻类），(3)浮游生物（特别是幼虫），以及(4)浮游动物（鱼类，十足甲壳类动物和其他游泳动物）。流域和土地利用/土地覆盖特征、底栖动物栖息地测绘和底栖动物群落调查构成了NERRS项目的其他高优先级举措。本卷中的文章提供了全系统调查和NERRS研究和监测倡议的具体地点案例研究的结果。
Abstract The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), consisting of a network of 26 protected estuarine reserves in the conterminous US, Alaska, and Puerto Rico, generates comprehensive research and monitoring databases in support of coastal resource-management programs. Integrated water-quality, nutrient, and biological monitoring protocols conducted by the NERRS program have been valuable for identifying and tracking short-term variability and long-term changes in the integrity and biodiversity of estuarine systems nationwide. Four areas of biological monitoring in the NERRS program form the foundation for detailed research initiatives; these include (1) submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and emergent vegetation (marsh plants), (2) benthos (benthic invertebrates and benthic algae), (3) plankton (specifically larvae), and (4) nekton (fish, decapod crustaceans, and other swimming animals). Watershed and land-use/land-cover characterizations, benthic habitat mapping, and benthic community surveys comprise other high-priority initiatives of the NERRS program. The articles in this volume provide results of both system-wide investigations and site-specific case studies of the NERRS research and monitoring initiatives.
