Dissolved and particulate carbohydrates in contrasting marine sediments
Dissolved and particulate carbohydrates were examined in contrasting Chesapeake Bay (estuarine) and mid-Atlantic shelf/slope break (continental margin) sediments. Particulate carbohydrates (PCHOs) represented ;5–9% of the total sediment particulate organic carbon (POC), and PCHO remineralization appeared to be a similar fraction of total sediment carbon oxidation (or Cox). When these results ar...
متن کاملRates of organic carbon oxidation in deep sea sediments in the eastern North Atlantic from pore water profiles of O2 and the d C of dissolved inorganic carbon
The remineralization rate of sedimentary organic carbon (Rorg) and the depth-integrated, diffusion-supplied O2 consumption rate (IOC) during microbial metabolism in sediments was investigated in three deep-sea sites at 1100, 2000 and 3500 m water depth in the eastern north Atlantic during the spring and summer 1998. In-situ pore water O2 profiles yielded an IOC of 0.45F0.07 mmol O2 m 2 day 1 at...
متن کاملEnriched stable carbon isotopes in the pore waters of carbonate sediments dominated by seagrasses: Evidence for coupled carbonate dissolution and reprecipitation
Studies of the dC of pore water dissolved inorganic carbon (dC-DIC) were carried out in shallow water carbonate sediments of the Great Bahamas Bank (GBB) to further examine sediment–seagrass relationships and to more quantitatively describe the couplings between organic matter remineralization and sediment carbonate diagenesis. At all sites studied dC-DIC provided evidence for the dissolution o...

Sulfate reduction rates in the surface sediments from 17 stations from an along-slope transect (1,300 m) and from a cross-slope transect (855–4,766 m) were determined in the continental margin sediments of the Benguela Upwelling system. Profiles at all sites in the upwelling area showed increasing sulfate reduction rates from near zero at the surface to a peak at 2–5 cm (up to 29 nmol cm23 d21)...
متن کاملMethane dynamics in Santa Barbara Basin (USA) sediments as examined with a reaction-transport model
Here we describe a new reaction-transport model that quantitatively examines δ13C profiles of porewater methane and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) (δCCH4 and δCDIC) in the anoxic sediments of the Santa Barbara Basin (California Borderland region). Best-fit solutions of the model to these data suggest that CO2 reduction is the predominant form of methanogenesis in these sediments. These soluti...
