Nitrification, Denitrification and Nitrogen Fixation in Bottom Sediments of Lagoons of the Seychelles Islands by M. v. Propp, v. S. Odintsov, L. N. Propp Issued by National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution
Major processes of the nitrogen cycle (i.e., nitrogen fixation, denitrification, ammonia mineralization and nitrification) were investigated in coastal sediments of several Seychelles Islands. Sediments were represented by carbonate sands, except in Victoria Harbor where they were carbonate silt. Nitrogen fixation was measured by acetylene reduction assay, other processes were studied by an exp...
متن کاملThe marine nitrogen cycle: recent discoveries, uncertainties and the potential relevance of climate change.
The ocean's nitrogen cycle is driven by complex microbial transformations, including nitrogen fixation, assimilation, nitrification, anammox and denitrification. Dinitrogen is the most abundant form of nitrogen in sea water but only accessible by nitrogen-fixing microbes. Denitrification and nitrification are both regulated by oxygen concentrations and potentially produce nitrous oxide (N2O), a...
متن کاملInorganic nitrogen metabolism by Antarctic phytoplankton with special reference to ammonium cycling
Nitrogen metabolism of planktonic populations in coastal waters of the southern Scotia Sea was studied in February-March 1981 aboard R/V M e l d l e . In spite of the high concentration of nitrate present in these waters (21 to 29 FM), up to 93 % of phytoplankton nitrogen was assimilated in the form of ammonium, with the overall mean being 78 %. Time course experiments showed that uptake of nit...
متن کاملMicrobial associations with macrobiota in coastal ecosystems: patterns and implications for nitrogen cycling
N (N) is often a limiting nutrient in coastal marine systems, but human activities have doubled the availability of this nutrient over the past century, particularly via fertilizer production to sustain increases in agriculture (Galloway et al. 1995). In coastal ecosystems receiving anthropogenic N, excess N can fuel harmful algal blooms, and the decomposition of organic (dead algal) material v...
متن کاملA study on the composition of size-fractionated suspended particulate matter in shallow coastal waters of Chabahar Bay
Abstract In the present study, sampling and analysis of size-fractionated suspended particulate matter (SPM) in coastal waters of Chabahar Bay have been done for the first time. Sampling has been conducted on December 25 of 2018 from 5 stations in different locations of the Bay in order to evaluate the effects of natural and human activities on SPM mass and composition. With an overall average...
