Density of Key-Species Determines Efficiency of Macroalgae Detritus Uptake by Intertidal Benthic Communities
Accumulating evidence shows that increased biodiversity has a positive effect on ecosystem functioning, but the mechanisms that underpin this positive relationship are contentious. Complete extinctions of regional species pools are comparatively rare whereas compositional changes and reductions in abundance and biomass are common, although seldom the focus of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning ...
متن کاملBenthic metabolism and sulfur cycling along an inundation gradient in a tidal Spartina anglica salt marsh
Central aspects of carbon and sulfur biogeochemistry were studied along a transect extending from an unvegetated mudflat into a Spartina anglica salt marsh. Conditions along the transect differed with respect to tidal elevation, sediment characteristics, vegetation coverage, and benthic macrofauna abundance. Dark sediment O2 uptake and CO2 emission at the highly bioturbated mudflat were low and...
متن کاملEffects of nutrient enrichment and shading on sediment primary production and metabolism in eutrophic estuaries
The impact of anthropogenic eutrophication on the productivity and metabolism of estuarine sediments has received relatively little attention. In this study, we investigated the separate and combined effects of decreased light availability and sediment nutrient enrichment, 2 of the most important impacts of anthropogenic eutrophication, on sediment primary production and metabolism in 2 eutroph...
متن کاملEffects Of Sediment Microfabric on Benthic Optical Properties
My long term goal is to examine how inorganic factors, such as differences in sediment character or packing, contribute to the reflectance, scattering, and fluoresence of incident light at the seabed in coastal environments. Of particular interest is the degree to which the water column light field is sensitive to inorganic changes in bottom type, and whether such changes can be described in si...
