Annual sediment primary production and respiration in a large coral reef lagoon (SW New Caledonia)
Sediment photosynthetic production and community respiration were investigated for 1 yr in the south-west lagoon of New Caledonia (surface area: 2000 km'; mean depth: 21 m). Metabolic fluxes were measuredbat the water-sediment interface using benthic enclosures, at 60 sampling stations randomly distributed in space and time. Mean gross primary production (Pg) was 12.06 mol C m-' yr-l. Mean resp...
متن کاملEpisodic circulation and exchange in a wave-driven coral reef and lagoon system
We examined the role of wave-driven circulation relative to wind and buoyancy forcing in a coral reef–lagoon system. Circulation measurements in Paopao Bay, Moorea, French Polynesia, during austral summer show the importance of waves in driving flows over the reef crest, through the lagoon, and out the reef pass. Tides were comparatively weak, due to proximity to amphidromic points, and exhibit...
متن کاملDetrital pathways in a coral reef lagoon
Coral reef lagoons are generally regarded as zones of net heterotrophy reliant on organic detritus generated in more productive parts of the reef system, such as the seaward reef flat. The abundance and biomass of sediment infauna were measured seasonally for one year (1986) within the lagoon of Davies Reef, central Great Barrier Reef, to test the hypothesis that macrofaunal biomass and product...
متن کاملEffect of solar ultraviolet radiation on bacterio- and phytoplankton activity in a large coral reef lagoon (southwest New Caledonia)
Measurements of underwater solar ultraviolet radiation (UV-R, 280 to 400 nm), particulate (PPP) and dissolved (DPP) primary and bacterial (BP) production allowed us to infer the respective contribution of UV-B (280 to 315 nm) and UV-A (315 to 400 nm) in algal–bacterial interactions in the southwest lagoon of New Caledonia. Differences in and between activities were assessed by in situ exposure ...
متن کاملPatos-Mirim Lagoon system
This section aims to identify feasible policy options that target key components identified in the Causal chain analysis in order to minimise future impacts on the transboundary aquatic environment. Recommended policy options were identified through a pragmatic process that evaluated a wide range of potential policy options proposed by regional experts and key political actors according to a nu...
