-1). Nutrient enrichment had little effect on sediment primary production and metabolism in the estuarine sites studied; however, in some instances nutrient enrichment influenced the negative effects of reduced light on sediment net production. The results demonstrate that the impact of light reduction on sediment primary production and metabolism in a turbid, nutrient-rich estuary is greater than that of additional sediment nutrient enrichment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
