摘要

We provide the first reported estimates of anammox activity in tropical continental shelf sediments (southern section of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon; GBRL). The measured contribution of anammox to total N_2 production was up to 70 % but restricted to only 1 of the 4 (2 inshore and 2 offshore) sites assayed. Sediment characteristics (contents of total organic carbon [TOC] and manganese [Mn], C:N ratio) at this site appeared to favour anammox activity and the estimated maximum rate was 4.9 μmol m~(-2) h~(-1). Anammox bacteria may be a significant contributor to N_2 production along the coastal zone of the GBRL. The availability of labile (low C:N) TOC seemed to drive denitrification to completion in the offshore sediments. However, rates of NO_3~- reduction to NH_4~+ at the offshore sites were comparable to or higher than denitrification rates. It was unclear whether dissimilatory or assimilatory processes were responsible for the observed reduction of NO_3~- to NH_4~+ at the offshore sites. At the 2 inshore sites, NO_3~- reduction to NH_4~+ was a larger sink for N_3~- than denitrification. Anammox does exist in the tropical continental shelf sediments of the GBRL and should be studied further to determine its role in larger scale N cycling. The roles of assimilatory and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium also need to be assessed within the GBRL.
