Evaluation of fate of organic matter in sediment through microcosm experiments
Laxman Gardade,

Abstract:Laboratory microcosm experiments help to understand the degradation pattern of different sources derived from organic matter (OM) at the sediment–water interface and relate it to field processes. Microcosm experiments were carried out for 65 days to assess the degradation of organic materials such as diatoms, zooplankton, and mangrove leaves using source‐specific fatty acid (FA) biomarkers. The viable bacterial population in the microcosm sediment was low on day 1, but on day 3, it increased substantially by t… Show more
