Effects of macrobenthos on sediment-water oxygen and ammonium fluxes. Final Report.
Sediments are an important location in determining the fate of nutrients entering the estuary. Role of sediments needs to be incorporated into water quality models. Purpose of this study was to estimate the portion of sediment oxygen consumption (SOC) and sediment ammonium (NH4+) release directly attributable to benthic invertebrates via the respiratory use of oxygen and catabolic release of ammonium.Samples were collected at 8 locations from August 1985 through November 1988.
