متن کاملSaharan Dust Deposition May Affect Phytoplankton Growth in the Mediterranean Sea at Ecological Time Scales
The surface waters of the Mediterranean Sea are extremely poor in the nutrients necessary for plankton growth. At the same time, the Mediterranean Sea borders with the largest and most active desert areas in the world and the atmosphere over the basin is subject to frequent injections of mineral dust particles. We describe statistical correlations between dust deposition over the Mediterranean ...
متن کاملDust Particles and Aerosols: Impact on Biota “A Review” (Part II)
This is the second of series on the impact of dust. It focuses on the physical, chemical and physiological effects of dust particles and aerosols. Plants of all types and classes (from algae to forest trees and everything in between) are adversely affected either directly through abrasion by airborne particles or through interference with plant physiology or indirectly through the impact on soi...
متن کاملDoes phosphate adsorption onto Saharan dust explain the unusual N/P ratio in the Mediterranean Sea? L’absorption des phosphates de poussières sahariennes explique-t-elle le taux N/P inhabituel en Méditerranée ?
A Saharan soil, considered as a proxy for Saharan aerosols, was used to perform radio-labelled phosphate adsorption experiments using PO4 : leached particles were exposed to poisoned western Mediterranean seawater for varying lengths of time. The measured adsorption capacity of Saharan dust for phosphate was 0.13 μmol g. Considering this value and an annual Saharan dust deposition of 12.5 t km ...
متن کاملCoastal Bacterioplankton Metabolism Is Stimulated Stronger by Anthropogenic Aerosols than Saharan Dust
In oligotrophic regions, such as the Mediterranean Sea, atmospheric deposition has the potential to stimulate heterotrophic prokaryote growth and production in surface waters, especially during the summer stratification period. Previous studies focused on the role of leaching nutrients from mineral particles of Saharan (S) origin, and were restricted to single locations at given times of the ye...
