The quantity and quality of organic matter (OM) available for macrobenthos vary on temporal spatial scale, especially in coastal areas, where the seafloor is supplied by both seasonal pulses primary production terrestrial carbon transported rivers. Human-induced environmental changes will alter OM transport to seafloor, thus, it crucial importance recognize impacts spatio-temporal variability macrobenthic food webs. In this study, its effect benthic food-web structure were studied at four...
Abstract Organic matter (OM) resources shape not only the trophic diversity of benthic communities but also functional traits. The resulting community structure has a direct effect on many ecosystem processes and functions. Still, relationship between marine benthos its in response to variability food remains poorly investigated. To explore this we focused assessment various facets macrobenthic two temperate coastal areas (southern Baltic Sea) characterized by similar species pool habitat...
Macrobenthos is an important component of organic carbon storage and energy flow in marine systems, including these impacted by riverine discharge high share allochthonous matter (OM). Changing environmental conditions, such as lower precipitation snow cover duration, may affect patterns input, therefore it crucial to know how benthic communities utilize different OM sources areas affected rivers. Using Bayesian stable isotope mixing models, we assessed the diet composition common...
<p>Dissolved silica (DSi) is an important macronutrient in the marine environment, necessary for growth of many aquatic organisms. Yet, DSi cycle still not fully recognized, especially dynamic, coastal zones. Although mainly transported to sea by rivers, benthic fluxes DSi, which originate from dissolution siliceous remains sediments, can also represent source bioavailable silicon ocean. Benthic are powered diffusion, but their rates strongly shaped fauna. Still, role benthos...
