Nutrient dynamics at the sediment-water interface in a Mediterranean lagoon (Thau, France): influence of biodeposition by shellfish farming activities.
The Thau Lagoon, a French Mediterranean shallow lagoon, is a site where extensive shellfish farming occurs. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the role of this activity on nutrient exchange at the sediment-water interface in relation to organic matter (OM) sedimentation and degradation. Two stations inside (C5) and outside (C4) of the shellfish farming areas were sampled at three season...
متن کاملPhotoinduced redox cycle of riboflavin at a water/oil interface.
A photoinduced redox reaction cycle of Riboflavin (RF) at a water/CCl4 interface was studied directly by means of both steady-state and time-resolved total internal reflection (TIR) fluorescence spectroscopies. The TIR fluorescence spectrum of RF observed at the water/CCl4 interface with the maximum wavelength of 517 nm was assigned to the pi-pi* transition from the excited singlet-state of the...
متن کاملNutrient Content at the Sediment-Water Interface of Tile-Fed Agricultural Drainage Ditches
Extensive network of tile drains present in the Midwest USA accelerate losses of nutrients to receiving ditches, rivers and eventually to the Gulf of Mexico. Nutrient inputs from agricultural watersheds and their role in affecting water quality have received increased attention recently; however, benthic sediment-nutrient interactions in tile-fed drainage ditches is still a matter of active res...
متن کاملNutrient Cycling at the Land - Water Interface : the Importance of the Riparian Zone !
-Riparian ecosystems are sites of important biogeochemical processes that affect the composition and structure of the streamside biota as well as aquatic systems. Microbial activity, coupled with the slow diffusion of oxygen in waterlogged riparian soils, causes anaerobic conditions and reduction in reduction oxidation (redox) potential. Redox potentials provide a useful measurement as to the ...
متن کاملEllipsometry Studies of the Self-Assembly of Nonionic Surfactants at the Silica-Water Interface: Equilibrium Aspects
The nature of layers of a series of poly(ethy1ene glycol) monoalkyl ethers (C,,Em) adsorbed on silica surfaces has been systematically investigated by means of null ellipsometry. The results show that adsorption remains low until a well-defined concentration ((=0.6-0.9)cmc) is exceeded. Then, as surfactants in the interfacial region start to self-absemble, it increases abruptly and plateau adso...
