متن کاملPelagic community responses to a deep-water front in the California Current Ecosystem: overview of the A-Front Study
In October 2008, we investigated pelagic community composition and biomass, from bacteria to fish, across a sharp frontal gradient overlying deep waters south of Point Conception, California. This north–south gradient, which we called A-Front, was formed by the eastward flow of the California Current and separated cooler mesotrophic waters of coastal upwelling origin to the north, from warm oli...
متن کاملAssessing pelagic and benthic metabolism using free water measurements
Automated in situ sensors for measuring changes in dissolved oxygen (DO) at high frequency have facilitated estimates of gross primary production (GPP) and respiration (R) in aquatic systems. Lake researchers usually rely on a single sensor for these estimates, but such point measurements may miss important spatial heterogeneity in within-lake processes and may not accurately represent systemwi...
متن کاملLinking the bottom to the top in aquatic ecosystems: mechanisms and stressors of benthic-pelagic coupling
Linkages between benthic and pelagic habitats occur in both freshwater and marine systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales, and are influenced by a number of chemical, biological, and physical forces. We identified three major mechanisms of benthic-pelagic coupling: (1) organism movement, (2) trophic interactions, and (3) biogeochemical cycling. We also explore the implications of se...
متن کاملBenthic community responses to pulses in pelagic food supply: North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Time-series measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) fluxes, sediment community composition, and sediment community oxygen consumption (SCOC) were made at the Hawaii Ocean Time-series station (Sta. ALOHA, 4730m depth) between December 1997 and January 1999. POC and PN fluxes, estimated from sediment trap collections made at 4000m depth (730m above bottom), ...
