Methane emissions from the upwelling area off Mauritania (NW Africa)
Coastal upwelling regions have been identified as sites of enhanced CH4 emissions to the atmosphere. The coastal upwelling area off Mauritania (NW Africa) is one of the most biologically productive regions of the world’s ocean but its CH4 emissions have not been quantified so far. More than 1000 measurements of atmospheric and dissolved CH4 in the surface layer in the upwelling area off Maurita...
متن کاملNitrogen fixation in sediments along a depth transect through the Peruvian oxygen 1 minimum zone
12 Benthic nitrogen (N2) fixation and sulfate reduction (SR) were investigated in the Peruvian 13 oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Sediment samples, were retrieved by a multiple corer at six 14 stations (70 1025 m water depth) along a depth transect at 12°S, covering anoxic and 15 hypoxic bottom water conditions. Benthic N2 fixation was detected at all sites using the 16 acetylene reduction assay, wi...

متن کاملBox-modelling of the impacts of atmospheric nitrogen deposition and benthic remineralisation on the nitrogen cycle of the eastern tropical South Pacific
Both atmospheric deposition and benthic remineralisation influence the marine nitrogen cycle, and hence ultimately also marine primary production. The biological and biogeochemical relations in the eastern tropical South Pacific (ETSP) among nitrogen deposition, benthic denitrification and phosphorus regeneration are analysed in a prognostic box model of the oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus cycl...
