Calcareous benthic foraminifera from the upper central peruvian margin: Control of the assemblage by pore water redox and sedimentary organic matter
(Inter Research, 2015)
We studied 'living' (stained) benthic foraminifera in the upper border of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) to determine the relationship between species' distribution and pore water and sediment geochemistry under ...
Methodology for Analyzing Dissolved Oxygen Consumption in Benthic Chambers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)
Dissolved oxygen (DO) consumption in the sediments of natural aquatic ecosystems occurs by mass flux across the water-sediment interface. This mass flux is determined as either the rate of oxygen consumption in the sediment ...
Use, development and improvements in the protocol of whole-sediment toxicity identification evaluation using benthic copepods
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-02-28)
The whole-sediment Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) approach is a useful technique that allows for the identification of the contaminants responsible for the toxicity of complex sediment samples. This study aimed ...
Living (stained) calcareous benthic foraminifera from recent sediments off Concepción, central-southern Chile (~36° S)
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2008)
Modeling the influence of benthic primary production on oxygen transport through the water-sediment interface
(Elsevier, 2015)
The context of this study is salty lagoons a few centimeters deep that are found in the arid region of the Andes Mountains in South America. The trophic structure of these aquatic ecosystems is supported by microalgae and ...
Integrated assessment of metal contamination in sediments from two tropical estuaries
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-08-01)
In order to evaluate if sediment metal contamination is responsible for benthic degradation and identify possible reference sites in Todos os Santos Bay (TSB), comparisons between a highly impacted (Subae) and less impacted ...
Spatial variability of biogeochemistry in shallow coastal benthic communities of Potter Cove (Antarctica) and the impact of a melting glacier
(Public Library of Science, 2018-12)
Measurements of biogeochemical fluxes at the sediment–water interface are essential to investigate organic matter mineralization processes but are rarely performed in shallow coastal areas of the Antarctic. We investigated ...
The impact of significant imput of fine sediment on benthic fauna at tributary junctions: a case study of the Bermejo-Paraguay River confluence, Argentina
(Wiley, 2014-06)
This study examines the morphological features, suspended sediment inputs and hydraulic conditions within a large river in association with ecological patterns before and after a tributary confluence. In order to examine ...
Benthic response to upwelling events off the SE Brazilian coast
(Inter-research, 2005-01-01)
The main aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare temporal responses of the benthos in 2 continental shelf areas (Cabo Frio and Ubatuba) off the SE Brazilian coast. In Cabo Frio (23 degrees S, 42 degrees W), ...
