Preservation of organic matter in marine sediments: controls, mechanisms, and an imbalance in sediment organic carbon budgets?
The burial of organic matter (OM) in marine sediments represents the major link between “active” surface pools of carbon in the oceans, atmosphere, on land, and in marine sediment, and carbon pools that cycle on much longer, geologic time scales (i.e., carbon in sedimentary rock, coal, and petroleum deposits). It also plays some role in controlling atmospheric CO2 and O2 on these long time scal...
متن کاملRegulation of microbial enzymatic degradation of organic matter in deep-sea sediments
The enzymatic response of a natural deep-sea microbial community to input of organic matter was investigated by substrate enrichment experiments. Sediments from the BIOTRANS area at 47"N 20°W in the NE Atlantic (4500 m depth) were supplied with particulate and dissolved organic matter from stenhzed net plankton and incubated under in situ pressure and temperature. Changes in the potential hydro...
متن کاملOrganic Carbon and Organic Matter Levels in Sediments of the Strait of Hormoz, the Persian Gulf
Total organic carbon has a major influence on both the chemical and biological processesthat take place in sediments. Algal bloom is one of the organic carbon levels in aquatic ecosystems. In 2009 algal bloom occurred in the Hormozgan province and prolonged for months, which finally setteled down in 2010. In this study the variations of total organic carbon (TOC), organic matter (TOM) and tot...
متن کاملOrganic Matter Controls of Iron Incorporation in Growing Sea Ice
This study presents the first laboratory-controlled sea-ice growth experiment conducted under trace metal clean conditions. The role played by organic matter in the incorporation of iron (Fe) into sea ice was investigated by means of laboratory ice-growth experiments using a titanium cold-finger apparatus. Experiments were also conducted to understand the role of extracellular polymeric substan...
متن کاملBurial Consolidation Processes of Deep-sea Sediments: an Example of Core Sediments Collected from the Labrador Sea in the Northwest Atlantic
Progressive change of microfabrics of deep-sea sediments during early diagenesis was analyzed using two drill cores collected from the Sites U1305 and U1306 of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 303 in the Labrador Sea in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. Microfabrics were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and deduced from anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility. DiŠerent microfa...
