Water column biogeochemistry

In view of the low nutritional quality of the mangrove detritus, the production of phytoplankton and bacterial biomasses may represent important pathways for the synthesis of high quality biomass potentially available to the grazers in the mangrove creek systems (Bano etal., 1997). On the other hand, the heterotrophic conditions may also have negative consequences for the

Sediment biogeochemistry in mangrove forests is just as complex as water column biogeochemistry. The sediments are highly heterogenic and the... 

This handbook article combines an up-to-date tabulation of the lanthanide composition of the ocean with a description of lanthanide distributions in the context of physical, chemical and biogeochemical processes controlling these distributions. The focus of this chapter is water column biogeochemistry. While pore waters and hydrothermal waters will be considered in this article, the extensive literature on the lanthanide geochemistry of minerals and marine sediments will not be discussed.
