Benthic metabolism across a gradient of anthropogenic impact in three shallow coastal lagoons in NW Florida
Seagrasses are being lost at alarming rates worldwide, most often due to anthropogenic effects, but few reports have examined how seagrass loss affects the metabolism of coastal ecosystems. Here, we address this question by comparing both areal and system-integrated daytime benthic metabolic rates across 3 lagoons in the North Central Gulf of Mexico that display varying levels of abundance of t...
متن کاملSite assessment for industrial mass cultivation of microalgae: case studies from Persian Gulf and Oman Sea coastal areas
Providing enough microalgae biomass is required for various applications in sectors such as food, medicine and energy. The biomass resources such as land, water, nutrient and carbon dioxide are essential in cultivation feasibility study for biomass production as well as cost benefits. The aims of this research is therefore, site assessment and prioritization of potential site locations, carbon ...
متن کاملEffects of short-term sediment nutrient enrichment and grazer (Neritina Reclivata) removal on sediment microalgae in a shallow eutrophic estuary (Alabama, USA).
The olive snail (Neritina reclivata) is ubiquitous in tropical and sub-tropical systems of the Gulf of Mexico, however its impacts on sediment microalgae have been little studied. Many coastal systems around the world are being eutrophied due to human activities, and seemingly they will continue to be eutrophied to a further extent in the future. Exploring the single and combined impacts of fur...
متن کاملPaleontology, paleogeography and Paleoenvironment of the Paleocene benthic foraminiferal species of Plummer in the Tethys; a review
Forty two Paleocene benthic foraminiferal species of the Midway Formation in the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas, USA were firstly investigated by Plummer (1927), and its paleogeographic distribution in some other countries in the Tethyan province were recorded: North America (USA, Mexico), South America (Argentina), Europe (North Sea Basin, Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Bulgaria), North Af...
متن کاملThe Importance of Primary Producers for Benthic Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycling
In shallow coastal systems where most of the seafloor lies within the photic zone, benthic photoautotrophy plays a key role in regulating nutrient cycling. In these systems, production of submerged vascular plants (seagrasses), macroalgae and benthic microalgae is high and typically exceeds that of phytoplankton (Borum and Sand Jensen 1996). Changes in the patterns of primary production as well...
