Evidence

Peer-reviewed

Geography

Bolstadfjord, western Norway

System

Fjord sill exchange and deep-water oxygen

## WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

Bolstadfjord simulations indicate changing sill depth, external water density and freshwater discharge timing alters deep-basin renewal; a modeled constant regulated release prevented renewal in one scenario.

## WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

Infrastructure water-flow timing and density matter as much as annual volume for coastal ecology.

## CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

Scenario models, not observed new dam or dredging outcomes; site-specific bathymetry limits transfer.
