Quantifying biologically and physically induced flow and tracer dynamics in permeable sediments
Insight in the biogeochemistry and ecology of sandy sediments crucially depends on a quantitative description of pore water flow and the associated transport of various solutes and particles. We show that widely different problems can be modelled by the same flow and tracer equations. The principal difference between model applications concerns the geometry of the sediment-water interface and t...
متن کاملQuantifying tidally driven benthic oxygen exchange across permeable sediments: An aquatic eddy correlation study
Continental shelves are predominately ( 70%) covered with permeable, sandy sediments. While identified as critical sites for intense oxygen, carbon, and nutrient turnover, constituent exchange across permeable sediments remains poorly quantified. The central North Sea largely consists of permeable sediments and has been identified as increasingly at risk for developing hypoxia. Therefore, we in...
متن کاملAdvective pore-water exchange driven by surface gravity waves and its ecological implications
The effects of surface gravity waves on pore-water release from permeable sediment (k 5 1.3–1.8 3 10211 m2) in shallow water were studied in a wave tank. Our tracer experiments demonstrated that shallow-water waves can increase fluid exchange between sandy sediment and overlying water 50-fold, relative to the exchange by molecular diffusion. The main driving force for this increased exchange ar...
متن کاملEddy correlation measurements of oxygen fluxes in permeable sediments exposed to varying current flow and light
Based on noninvasive eddy correlation measurements at a marine and a freshwater site, this study documents the control that current flow and light have on sediment–water oxygen fluxes in permeable sediments. The marine sediment was exposed to tidal-driven current and light, and the oxygen flux varied from night to day between 229 and 78 mmol m22 d21. A fitting model, assuming a linear increase ...
متن کاملIn situ evaluation of nearshore marine and fresh pore water transport into Flamengo Bay, Brazil
Transport between pore waters and overlying surface waters of Flamengo Bay near Ubatuba, Brazil, was quantified using natural and artificial geochemical tracers, Rn, Cl , and SF6, collected from multi-level piezometers installed along a transect perpendicular to the shore. Eight sampling ports positioned along the length of the piezometers allowed sampling of pore waters at discrete depth inter...
