Abstract | The major addressed during the cruise M137, which was conducted were the following: To experimentally elucidate the magnitude and pathways of benthic nutrient fluxes (N,P, Fe, other trace metals) in response to the sustained availability of bottom water NO3- and O2. The results will be linked to time series of O2, NO3- and NO2- in order to allow for a better up-scaling and predictive capability of the benthic-pelagic coupling in the Peruvian OMZ at seasonal and inter-annual time scales. Another important goal of the ex situ and in situ experiment series was to determine the timing and magnitude of sulfidic events after stepwise depletion of O2, NO3- and NO2- in the bottom water. These studies encompass the determination of the capacity of bacteria and foraminifera to survive conditions of bottom water depleted in O2, NO3- and NO2-. Though multibeam has been recorded during the cruise, it was not a major focus and the responsible party provided no acquisition information. |
