Effects of Diel Oxygen Cycling and Benthic Macrofauna on Sediment Oxygen Demand
This field study examined how sediment macroinfauna change patterns of sediment oxygen demand (SOD) throughout a diel oxygen cycle. Sediments with a greater faunal presence would be expected to have greater overall SOD, and at night may alter their behavior and influence SOD depending on their response to low-oxygen stress. Dynamic faunal bioturbation or bioirrigation behavior would also result in corresponding variation in SOD values on short time scales. In situ flow-through benthic metabolism chambers were used to measure SOD at a high temporal resolution in discrete sediment patches. Sediments with more macroinfauna had greater average SOD over the diel cycle, consistent with previous studies. Where more macroinfauna were present, they drove greater SOD during nightly low oxygen, presumably by enhancing their burrowing and irrigation activities. SOD was also more variable on a sub-diel timescale in sediments with more macroinfauna. Sediment oxygen demand is dynamic and highly sensitive both temporally, on very short timescales, and spatially, in terms of resident fauna, and their interaction produces heretofore unaccounted complexity in patterns of SOD particularly in shallow coastal systems. Extrapolations of temporally and spatially limited SOD measurements to a system-wide scale that do not account for the short-term and spatially variable effects of fauna may produce imprecise and misleading estimates of this critical ecosystem function.
期刊介绍:
Estuaries and Coasts is the journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). Begun in 1977 as Chesapeake Science, the journal has gradually expanded its scope and circulation. Today, the journal publishes scholarly manuscripts on estuarine and near coastal ecosystems at the interface between the land and the sea where there are tidal fluctuations or sea water is diluted by fresh water. The interface is broadly defined to include estuaries and nearshore coastal waters including lagoons, wetlands, tidal fresh water, shores and beaches, but not the continental shelf. The journal covers research on physical, chemical, geological or biological processes, as well as applications to management of estuaries and coasts. The journal publishes original research findings, reviews and perspectives, techniques, comments, and management applications. Estuaries and Coasts will consider properly carried out studies that present inconclusive findings or document a failed replication of previously published work. Submissions that are primarily descriptive, strongly place-based, or only report on development of models or new methods without detailing their applications fall outside the scope of the journal.
