Microbial degradation of cold-water coral-derived organic matter: potential implication for organic C cycling in the water column above Tisler Reef
Cold-water corals release organic matter, in particular mucus, but its role in the ecological functioning of reef ecosystems is still poorly understood. The present study investigates the planktonic microbial degradation of mucus released by Lophelia pertusa colonies from Tisler Reef, Skagerrak. Results are compared to the degradation of dissolved and particulate organic substrates, including t...
متن کاملSources of suspended organic matter and selective feeding by zooplankton in an estuarine mangrove ecosystem as traced by stable isotopes
Between January 1995 and August 1996, suspended matter and zooplankton were sampled at different locations in a mangrove ecosystem located in the Gautami Godavari estuary and adjacent Kakinada Bay (Andhra Pradesh, India). Suspended matter was sampled at 13 different stations, and was found to have a highly variable carbon stable isotope composition, with δ13C values ranging overall between –30....
متن کاملInterannual variation in stable carbon and nitrogen isotope biogeochemistry of the Mattaponi River, Virginia
Seasonal and interannual variation of the stable carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) isotope composition of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) was measured in the brackish and tidal freshwater regions of the Mattaponi River, a tributary of the York River, Virginia, and a pristine end member on a continuum of anthropogenic modification within Chesapeake Bay. A principal components analysis indic...
متن کاملThe contribution of different food sources to the diet of Parasesarma persicum Naderloo and Schubart 2010 in the mangrove ecosystem of Hara Biosphere Reserve; a stable isotope approach
The current study aimed to determine the isotopic composition of different food sources and their contribution to the diet of Parasesarma persicum inhibiting a mangrove ecosystem in the Persian Gulf. The potential food sources, i.e., Avicennia marina green and yellow leaves, Particulate Organic Matter (POM), Microphytobenthos (MPB), and Sediment Organic Matter (SOM) were collected for stable is...
متن کاملBiogeochemical signatures of nitrogen fixation in the eastern North Atlantic
[1] Stable nitrogen isotopic determination of particulate organic matter over the eastern North Atlantic in spring 2000 reveal a region of low natural abundance of N relative to N between 26 N and 32 N along 20 W. This light isotopic signal, together with phytopigment data and persistently elevated nitrate to phosphate ratios in the upper thermocline, suggest that nitrogen fixation provides a l...
