Title: The cycling and oxidation pathways of organic carbon in a shallow estuary along the Texas Gulf Coast

Journal Article · · Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 76(1):69-84

The cycling and oxidation pathways of organic carbon were investigated at a single shallow water estuarine site in Trinity Bay, Texas, the uppermost lobe of Galveston Bay, during November 2000. Radio-isotopes were used to estimate sediment mixing and accumulation rates, and benthic chamber and pore water measurements were used to determine sediment-water exchange fluxes of oxygen, nutrients and metals, and infer carbon oxidation rates.
