An in situ chamber of volume 3881 and bottom area 0·64 m2 was used to determine the flux of oxygen and inorganic nutrients across an estuarine sediment-water interface over a 65-day period. Over the first 7 days, oxygen uptake was 378 mg m−2 day−1 and the rates of ammonium and phosphate release were 2·22 and 0·34 mg at. m−2 day−1, respectively. The water became anoxic in 14 days. The rates of flux in a similar chamber containing only detritus recently settled from the water column were 371 mg m−2 day−1 (oxygen), 1·66 mg at. m−2 day−1 (ammonium) and 0 12 mg at. m−2 day−1 (phosphate), demonstrating that detritus contributes substantially to exchange across the sediment-water interface. The evolution of the two chambers was similar over the latter part of the experimental period. A third chamber containing only water exhibited very minor changes. The role of detritus in nutrient recycling at the sediment-water interface is discussed in relation to the productivity of shallow water bodies such as the estuary in which the experiment was conducted, which itself undergoes periodic deoxygenation during prolonged stratification. The measured flux of nitrogen across the interface was found to represent approximately 31% of the mean daily phytoplankton requirement.

Deoxygenation and remineralization above the sediment-water interface; an in situ experimental study

A multidisciplinary study of the structure and dynamics of a small (~78 ha) Australian marine embay ment (South West Arm of Port Hacking, New South Wales) was conducted during 1973–1978. Compatible data were obtained by studying processes in terms of the flow of carbon. The carbon budget developed in this paper represents an attempt at a synthesis of that information. The chemical and biological species contained in each of 10 compartments are described; as data allows, the average carbon mass within each compartment and the average flow rates between the compartments, with variances, are estimated. This information is used to piece together the distribution of carbon among the compartments and to ascertain the major flow paths of carbon into, within, and out of South West Arm.

A Carbon Budget for South West Arm, Port Hacking

The variations of phytoplankton biomass with both time and space are described for Port Hacking, New South Wales, a marine-dominated estuary. Frequent short-term increases in phytoplankton biomass and production were caused by estuarine hydrological events resulting in the release of regenerated nutrients, and by coastal hydrological events where slope-water intrusions enriched the coastal waters and were introduced into the estuary by tides. These frequent changes prevented any prediction of primary production. A simple empirical model was devised to estimate daily primary production by phytoplankton from measurements of phytoplankton biomass, total daily solar irradiance, and light attenuation by the water column.
