Spatiotemporal Variability in Benthic-Pelagic Coupling on the Oregon-Washington Shelf: An Investigation of Bottom Water and Benthic Flux Data

Creator:

Hughes, Anna R.

Abstract:

Continental shelf sediments are sinks for dissolved oxygen and sources of many major and minor nutrients required for oceanic surface primary production, resulting in a strong coupling between benthic and pelagic biogeochemical cycling. However, the influence and spatiotemporal variability of benthic remineralization on bottom-water chemistry and the supply of nutrients...
