Carbon Sinks in Nearshore Marine Vegetated Ecosystems
To reduce the rate of global warming due to rising CO2 , the potential for sequestering carbon by oceanic phytoplankton has received considerable international attention, which has culminated with a research agenda (Longhurst 1991). The potential for using terrestrial systems as carbon sinks is also under study (Sampson 1992). Although limited work on the use of kelps as a global carbon sink ha...
متن کاملSources and sinks of microplastics in Canadian Lake Ontario nearshore, tributary and beach sediments.
Microplastics contamination of Lake Ontario sediments is investigated with the aim of identifying distribution patterns and hotspots in nearshore, tributary and beach depositional environments. Microplastics are concentrated in nearshore sediments in the vicinity of urban and industrial regions. In Humber Bay and Toronto Harbour microplastic concentrations were consistently >500 particles per k...
متن کاملFungi in lake ecosystems
This review highlights the presence and ecological roles of fungi in lakes, and aims to stimulate research in aquatic mycology. In the study of lentic systems, this field is an almost completely neglected topic and, if considered at all, has often been restricted to specific groups of fungi, such as yeasts, filamentous fungi (e.g. aquatic hyphomycetes), or phycomycetes (an obsolete taxonomic ca...
متن کاملSources and Sinks of Escherichia coli in Benthic and Pelagic Fish
Escherichia coli and fecal coliform bacteria were isolated from five benthic and four pelagic fish species to determine their role in the fecal contamination of recreational waters. All fish were collected during fall 2006 from Southworth Marsh in the Duluth-Superior Harbor, a public beach that is commonly posted to minimize water contact due to high E. coli levels. Although fecal coliform bact...
متن کاملEffects of agricultural subsidies of nutrients and detritus on fish and plankton of shallow-reservoir ecosystems.
Agricultural activities increase exports of nutrients and sediments to lakes, with multiple potential impacts on recipient ecosystems. Nutrient inputs enhance phytoplankton and upper trophic levels, and sediment inputs can shade phytoplankton, interfere with feeding of consumers, and degrade benthic habitats. Allochthonous sediments are also a potential food source for detritivores, as is sedim...
