Effects of macroalgal blooms on carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycling in photoautotrophic sediments: an experimental mesocosm.
The effects of floating macroalgae (250 g DW m(-2)) on photoautotrophic microbenthos were studied in a flow-through mesocosm with a parallel mesocosm without macroalgae serving as Control. Vertical microprofiles of O(2) at the sediment-water interface showed a immediate and complete suppression of photosynthetic activity of microphytobenthos (MPB) under the macroalgal canopy, resulting in a shi...
متن کاملBiogeochemical arsenic and iron cycling in freshwater sediments
With the relatively recent discovery that millions of people worldwide are affected by arsenic (As) contaminated drinking water, there has been a renewed interest in arsenic sources and biogeochemical processes that lead to As mobilization. Although there are both natural and anthropogenic inputs of As to the environment, elevated As concentrations in groundwater are often due to naturally-occu...
متن کاملBenthic exchange and biogeochemical cycling in permeable sediments.
The sandy sediments that blanket the inner shelf are situated in a zone where nutrient input from land and strong mixing produce maximum primary production and tight coupling between water column and sedimentary processes. The high permeability of the shelf sands renders them susceptible to pressure gradients generated by hydrodynamic and biological forces that modulate spatial and temporal pat...
متن کاملOligotrophic wetland sediments susceptible to shifts in microbiomes and mercury cycling with dissolved organic matter addition
Recent advances have allowed for greater investigation into microbial regulation of mercury toxicity in the environment. Inwetlands in particular, dissolved organicmatter (DOM) may influence methylmercury (MeHg) production both through chemical interactions and through substrate effects on microbiomes. We conducted microcosm experiments in two disparate wetland environments (oligotrophic unvege...
متن کاملCoupled Cycling of Dissolved Organic Nitrogen and Carbon in a Forest Stream
Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is an abundant but poorly understood pool of N in many ecosystems. We assessed DON cycling in a N-limited headwater forest stream via whole-ecosystem additions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and labile dissolved organic matter (DOM), hydrologic transport and biogeochemical modeling, and laboratory experiments with native sediments. We sampled surface and ...
