The role of benthic foraminifera in the benthic nitrogen cycle of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone
The discovery that foraminifera are able to use nitrate instead of oxygen as an electron acceptor for respiration has challenged our understanding of nitrogen cycling in the ocean. It was thought before that only prokaryotes and some fungi are able to denitrify. Rate estimates of foraminiferal denitrification have been very sparse and limited to specific regions in the oceans, not comparing sta...
متن کاملLarger benthic foraminifera from the Middle Eocene
Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are common and diverse throughout the Paleogene sediments of southern Tanzania, but have previously been little studied. A recent programme of onshore drilling known as the Tanzania Drilling Project has recovered large proportion of this succession for palaeoclimatic and palaeontological study. The sediment is largely a hemipelagic clay with secondary gravity s...
متن کاملManaging the Peruvian Upwelling Ecosystem:
A brief review is given of Ibe interrelationships and implications of Ibe findings reported in Ibe contributions included in this volume. Emphasis is given to some questions Ibat now appear crucial, e.g. Ibe cannibalization of anchoveu eggs and biannual cycles in anchoveta recruitment and their possible cause(s). Some suggestions are made for future research on various elements of Ibe Peruvian ...
متن کاملStrong and Dynamic Benthic-Pelagic Coupling and Feedbacks in a Coastal Upwelling System (Peruvian Shelf)
Monthly time-series data (1998–2009) of bottom water oxygen, nitrate and nitrite concentrations from the outer shelf (150m water depth) in the oxygen minimum zone offshore Peru were coupled to a layered biogeochemical sediment model to investigate benthic-pelagic coupling over multi-annual time scales. The model includes the mineralization of four reactive pools of particulate organic carbon (P...
متن کاملMicrozooplankton Stoichiometric Plasticity Inferred from Modeling Mesocosm Experiments in the Peruvian Upwelling Region
Oxygenminimum zones (OMZs) are often characterized by nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N:P) ratios far lower than the canonical Redfield ratio. Whereas, the importance of variable stoichiometry in phytoplankton has long been recognized, variations in zooplankton stoichiometry have received much less attention. Here we combine observations from two shipboard mesocosm nutrient enrichment experiments with ...
