Benthic processes in the intertidal mudflats of the Fly River estuary, Papua New Guinea

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 09/10/2017

Three types of mudbanks were studied: a physically dominated, high sedimentation regime (1 station), a biologically dominated, low-to-moderate sedimentation regime (1 station); and a 'transitional' regime (2 stations).

Bacterial C production was estimated from rates of protein (3H-leucine incorporation) and DNA (3H-thymidine incorportion) synthesis.

Levels of particulate organic C, total N, total P in the sediments and dissolved organic (DOC< DON or = to 0.5mm) were measured.
