Biotic and abiotic controls on co-occurring nitrogen cycling processes in shallow Arctic shelf sediments
The processes that convert bioavailable inorganic nitrogen to inert nitrogen gas are prominent in continental shelf sediments and represent a critical global sink, yet little is known of these pathways in the Arctic where 18% of the world's continental shelves are located. Moreover, few data from the Arctic exist that separate loss processes like denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation...
متن کاملOcean Acidification Changes Abiotic Processes but Not Biotic Processes in Coral Reef Sediments
In coral reefs, sediments play a crucial role in element cycling by contributing to primary production and the remineralization of organic matter. We studied how future ocean acidification (OA) will affect biotic and abiotic processes in sediments from two coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. This was investigated in the laboratory under conditions where water-sediment exchange was...
متن کاملMicrobial community diversity associated with carbon and nitrogen cycling in permeable shelf sediments.
Though a large fraction of primary production and organic matter cycling in the oceans occurs on continental shelves dominated by sandy deposits, the microbial communities associated with permeable shelf sediments remain poorly characterized. Therefore, in this study, we provide the first detailed characterization of microbial diversity in marine sands of the South Atlantic Bight through parall...
متن کاملEvaluation of bioaccumulation of lead metal pollutant in two biotic and abiotic compartments of the Caspian Sea coastal sediments
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in food chains is one of the most important environmental and health problems of aquatic ecosystems. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the amount of lead metal uptake by Gammarus sp. And sedimentation took place in the coastal region of Sisangan in the Caspian Sea. In this study Gammarus sp. As the predominant benthic in soft sediments as a biological ...
متن کاملChanges in biotic and abiotic processes following mangrove clearing
Mangrove forests, important tropical coastal habitats, are in decline worldwide primarily due to removal by humans. Changes to mangrove systems can alter ecosystem properties through direct effects on abiotic factors such as temperature, light and nutrient supply or through changes in biotic factors such as primary productivity or species composition. Despite the importance of mangroves as tran...
