Interactive comment on “Sedimentary phosphorus and iron cycling in and below the oxygen minimum zone of the northern Arabian Sea” by P. Kraal et al
We thank Prof. Gabriel Filipelli for his kind words regarding this study and are very pleased to see that he appreciates the implications, specifically regarding the possible over-interpretation of reactive (Ca-)P burial based on chemical analysis of sedimentary records. We have also taken to heart his criticism that the final section (6.3) on Fe and S cycling does not seem to fit with the core...

متن کاملSedimentary phosphorus and iron cycling in and below the oxygen minimum zone of the northern Arabian Sea
In this study, we investigate phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) cycling in sediments along a depth transect from within to well below the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the northern Arabian Sea (Murray Ridge). Pore-water and solid-phase analyses show that authigenic formation of calcium phosphate minerals (Ca-P) is largely restricted to where the OMZ intersects the seafloor topography, likely due to h...
متن کاملRoles of sorption and tube-dwelling benthos in the cycling of phosphorus in Bering Sea sediments
Adsorption of dissolved phosphate onto iron-hydroxides has been shown to be one of the primary regulators of phosphorus cycling in sediments. Bioturbation and bioirrigation by benthic infauna modify this cycling by accelerating the transport of dissolved and particulate phosphorus and by changing rates of reactions that occur in the sediment, such as the adsorption of phosphate by amorphous iro...
متن کاملStock identification of Arabian yellow fin Sea bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus) by using shape of otolith in the Northern Persian Gulf &Oman Sea
Analysis of the shape properties of fish otolith is one way to identify stocks of different species in the marine environment. Length, width, area, perimeter, form factor, aspect ratio, roundness, circularity, ellipticity and rectangularity analyses of otoliths were undertaken to assess patterns of spatial and temporal stock structure of a wide-ranging fish, the Arabian yellow fin sea bream Aca...
