摘要

In situ, paired light and dark benthic flux chamber incubations were used to estimate the exchange of nutrients, oxygen and inorganic carbon across the sediment - water interface of the South Atlantic Eight (SAB) continental shelf. The results indicate that physically forced non-diffusive pore water transport and benthic primary production (EPP) by sea floor microalgae exert a major influence on benthic exchange rates on the mid- and outer-continental shelf (depths of 14-40 m). Light fluxes to the sea floor and sediment photosynthetic pigment distributions determined on two, widely spaced cross-shelf transects suggest that BPP may occur over 84% of the SAB continental shelf area. Microalgal gross BPP rates at all study sites averaged 400 +/- 260 mg C m(-2) d(-1) between May and September 1996 while water column primary productivity averaged 682 +/- 176 mg C m(-2) d(-1), implying a total primary productivity for this region of approximately 1100 mg C m(-2) d(-1) (1.6 times the water column productivity alone). The results are also consistent with the advective transport of pore waters. Benthic flux chambers appear to retard this exchange, affecting the accuracy of derived net fluxes. Given our inability to relate pore water gradients to fluxes in non-diffusive regimes and to mimic natural advective transport in intact core incubations, traditional techniques such as pore water gradient diffusion calculations or shipboard core incubations also may not provide accurate flux estimates. Because of these limitations, fundamental questions remain concerning the processes that control nutrient inventories in pore waters and the magnitude of the net benthic flux of nutrients on the sandy SAB shelf.
