Biodiversity on the Rocks: Macrofauna Inhabiting Authigenic Carbonate at Costa Rica Methane Seeps
Carbonate communities: The activity of anaerobic methane oxidizing microbes facilitates precipitation of vast quantities of authigenic carbonate at methane seeps. Here we demonstrate the significant role of carbonate rocks in promoting diversity by providing unique habitat and food resources for macrofaunal assemblages at seeps on the Costa Rica margin (400-1850 m). The attendant fauna is surpr...
متن کاملControls on authigenic carbonate precipitation at cold seeps along the convergent margin off Costa Rica
[1] Five sediment cores from cold seeps at the forearc off Costa Rica were used to explore the relationship between fluid advection, dissolved Ca concentrations in upward migrating fluids, and authigenic CaCO3 precipitation. A numerical transport‐reaction model was used to determine rates of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), CaCO3 precipitation, and benthic fluxes of solutes. Production of ...
متن کاملEffects of Ca-enrichment on authigenic carbonate formation at cold vent sites off Costa Rica: a numerical model approach
THE Costa Rican forearc is characterized by active fluid venting related to mud diapirism and volcanism. The geochemical compositions of fluids obtained from dewatering sites indicate that mineral precipitation or dehydration is the major driver of fluid mobilization and upward migration. The peculiar situation at the latter sites is that Ca concentrations in the upward migrating fluids are wel...
متن کاملMethane Seep Carbonates Host Distinct, Diverse, and Dynamic Microbial Assemblages
UNLABELLED Marine methane seeps are globally distributed geologic features in which reduced fluids, including methane, are advected upward from the subsurface. As a result of alkalinity generation during sulfate-coupled methane oxidation, authigenic carbonates form slabs, nodules, and extensive pavements. These carbonates shape the landscape within methane seeps, persist long after methane flux...
متن کاملSeep-carbonate lamination controlled by cyclic particle flux
Authigenic carbonate build-ups develop at seafloor methane-seeps, where microbially mediated sulphate-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane facilitates carbonate precipitation. Despite being valuable recorders of past methane seepage events, their role as archives of atmospheric processes has not been examined. Here we show that cyclic sedimentation pulses related to the Indian monsoon in co...
