Short summary
A physical–biogeochemical model was applied to study the response of hypoxia and oxygen dynamics to different riverine inputs. Results showed that the hypoxia in the Pearl River estuary was most sensitive to riverine inputs of POC, followed by DO and nutrients. This study also highlighted the significance of re-aeration for its buffering effects; i.e. the re-aeration responded rapidly to the perturbations of riverine inputs and in turn moderated the DO changes impacted by these perturbations.
