Injection of carbon from the shelf to offshore beneath the euphotic zone in the California Current
[1] High concentrations of chlorophyll are found in the California Current System over 300 km offshore, far from the productive coastal upwelling region, and between 150 and 250 m, well below the depth to which photosynthetically active solar radiation penetrates. This exceptionally deep chlorophyll feature is formed near the coast and transported offshore in the meandering California Current j...
متن کاملNitrification in the hyporheic zone of a desert stream ecosystem
Nitrification in the hyporheic zone of Sycamore Creek, a Sonoran Desert stream, was examined, focusing on the association between respiration and nitrate production. Subsurface respiration in Sycamore Creek is highest in regions of hydrologic downwelling where organic matter derived from the stream surface is transported into the hyporheic zone. Similarly, nitrification was closely related to h...
متن کاملSeawater of the Euphotic Zone
Microbial biomass on suspended organic matter in seawater of the euphotic zone of Saanich Inlet was investigated. The viable microorganisms were measured by the glucose-uptake method. Microbial carbon on particulate organic matter in seawater was determined to be, on the average, 9.9 ,ug of C/liter, and there was a regression relationship as y = 0.0062 x 1.79 with an unbiased variance Vyx12= 0....
متن کاملMicrobial distribution and activity across a water mass frontal zone in the California Current Ecosystem
Ocean fronts with accumulated biomass and organic matter may be significant sites of enhanced microbial activity. We sampled a frontal region (the A-Front) separating oligotrophic and mesotrophic water masses within the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) to assess the influence of frontal hydrography on several microbial parameters. Samples for heterotrophic bacterial, viral and flagellate abun...
متن کاملEmergence of anoxia in the California current large marine ecosystem.
Eastern boundary current systems are among the world's most productive large marine ecosystems. Because upwelling currents transport nutrient-rich but oxygen-depleted water onto shallow seas, large expanses of productive continental shelves can be vulnerable to the risk of extreme low-oxygen events. Here, we report the novel rise of water-column shelf anoxia in the northern California Current s...
