Impact of resuspension of cohesive sediments at the Oyster Grounds (North Sea) on nutrient exchange across the sediment-water interface

Significance of output:

Unique experiments concerning nutrient exchange during resuspension, showing typical diffusive-only models are insufficient and resuspension is a key pathway for nutrient exchange. Applicable to whole shelf sea system, with potential impacts on primary production potential and water quality. Carried out in collaboration with Cefas, supported by Defra as part of the Marine Ecosystem Connections project. This paper has since been used to further modelling efforts of ecosystem function (Molen et al, 2012, Biogeochemistry; Painting et al, 2012, Biogeochemistry; Provoost et al, 2012, Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science), and is a key component of further projects studying nutrient exchange (NE/J012238/1; NE/IC001906/1).
