THE MEASURE OF RATES OF NUTRIENT FLUXES BETWEEN TAMPA BAY SEDIMENTS AND THE OVERLYING WATER COLUMN
Citation:
Impact/Purpose:
resource managers will use the measurement of sediment-water flux rates to refine nutrient budgets for Tampa Bay
Description:
The project will measure rates of nutrient fluxes between Tampa Bay sediments and the ovrelying water column. This information has been lacking from previous nitrogen budgets for Tampa Bay, potentially hampering their accuracy and effectiveness. Refined nitrogen budgets based on nutrient fluxes measured at eight sites in Tampa Bay can then be used to set nitrogen loading limits and habitat restoration targets for Tampa Bay.
