  3. 3. Riverine sources of bioreactive macroelements and their impact on bacterioplankton metabolism in a recipient boreal estuary

    Författare :Ana Soares; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :Dissolved organic carbon; DOC bioreactivity; nutrient bioavailability; dissolved organic matter; bacterioplankton production; bacterial respiration; aquatic ecology;

    Sammanfattning : The loading of terrestrially derived macroelements, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (N), and total phosphorus (P), to inland and estuarine waters is increasing in the northern hemisphere. Thesemacroelements often limit heterotrophic bacterioplankton metabolism (production and respiration), which in turn influence food web structures, exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and aquatic systems and oxygen consumption in estuarine ecosystems.
