Intercalibration of benthic flux chambers

Applied use of taxonomy: lessons learned from the fi rst German intercalibration exercise for benthic diatoms

The fi rst German intercalibration exercise for benthic diatoms was conducted to improve the application of the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive for running waters and lakes in Germany. The intercalibration exercise revealed several taxonomic problems. Among others, considerable problems occurred with identifying and differentiating species of the following four groups: ...

The continental shelf benthic iron flux and its isotope composition

Benthic iron fluxes from sites along the Oregon–California continental shelf determined using in situ benthic chambers, range from less than 10 lmol m 2 d 1 to values in excess of 300 lmol m 2 d . These fluxes are generally greater than previously published iron fluxes for continental shelves contiguous with the open ocean (as opposed to marginal seas, bays, or estuaries) with the highest fluxe...
