The fate of intertidal microphytobenthos carbon: an in situ 13 C-labeling study
At two intertidal sites (one sandy and one silty, in the Scheldt estuary, The Netherlands), the fate of microphytobenthos was studied through an in situ 13 C pulse- chase experiment. Label was added at the beginning of low tide, and uptake of 13 C by algae was linear during the whole period of tidal exposure (about 27 mg m -2 h -1 in the top millimeter at both sites). The 13 C fixed by microphytobenthos was rapidly displaced toward deeper sediment layers (down to 6 cm), in particular at the dynamic, sandy site. The residence times of microphytobenthos with respect to external losses (resuspens... Mehr ...
