| Abstract |
Techniques were developed for sampling undisturbed sediment interface, and measuring oxygen uptake by intact sediment cores, dehydrogenase activity of sediment bacteria, and metabolic heat release by benthic organisms. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the relationship between oxygen uptake, loss of carbon, and release of silicate, nitrate, ammonia, and phosphate by sediments. The oxygen consumption at 33 stations in Puget Sound was measured each season to provide baseline data for this estuary. The original working hypothesis, that total oxygen uptake represents a measure of total metabolism in the sediment column appears erroneous, at least in organically rich sediment where anaerobic metabolism may greatly exceed aerobic metabolism. |
