Abstract. This paper presents new results from high temporal resolution observations over two years (2007 and 2008) from instrumented moorings deployed in the central North Sea, at the Oyster Grounds…

The fate of nitrogen (N) in the bottom sediments of the upper Great Ouse estuary, England, was examined over the course of a year. The sedirnents were consistent sinks for NO3from the overlying river…

Sedimentary organic matter mineralisation, nitrogen loss, and nutrient exchange were measured seasonally in areas of both high and low Enteromorpha sp.

Benthic-pelagic exchange processes are recognised as important nutrient sources in coastal areas, however, the relative impact of diffusion, resuspension and other processes such as bioturbation and…
Impact of long-term benthic trawl disturbance on sediment sorting and biogeochemistry in the southern North Sea

Biogeochemical processes in the upper layers of sediment, both oxic and suboxic, seemed unaffected by trawling in the long- term, but in deeper anoxic sediment, mineralisation via sulphate reduction may be stimulated by the extra disturbance, at least in areas where tidal energy is slight.

Seasonal benthic organic matter mineralisation measured by oxygen uptake and denitrification along a transect of the inner and outer River Thames estuary, UK

Seasonal measurements of organic matter mineralisation by oxygen uptake and denitrification were carried out from July 1996 to March 1998 along a -200 km transect of the River Thames estuary, UK, finding clear seasonality and highest rates of oxygen uptake at the muddy sites, but lower rates and non-temperature-dependent oxygen uptake in the sandier sites.
