Mangrove detrital system: decomposition processes and their role in estuarine food webs
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6272484
The report describes a research program directed to the role of the decomposition of leaf material from the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) in the food web of estuaries, how these processes work and what alterations can be expected with environmental perturbations. The program was designed to examine the following components of the decomposition process involving carbon and nitrogen inputs/outputs: (1) the role of nitrogen fixation in the decomposition process; (2) the role of fungi in the secondary phase of decomposition; (3) the fate of detrital particles via /sup 13/C//sup 12/C; (4) the role leachates in food webs; and (5) invertebrate utilization of detritus. 19 references.
