Inorganic combined nitrogen budget of the Arabian Sea: Some geochemical and climatic implications
(Waseda University, Tokyo, 1992)
Estimates of the local sources and sinks of inorganic combined nitrogen in the Arabian Sea suggest a net loss of sup(-)3 x 10 sup(13) gN y sup(-1). This seems to be made up largely by the upward flux facilitatEd. by a high ...
Primary production of tropical marine ecosystems
(Wiley Eastern, New Delhi, 1992)
Among tropical marine ecosystems estuaries are one of the highly productive areas and act as a nursery to large number of organisms. The primary production in most of the estuaries is less during the monsoon period. ...
Response of phytoplankton to nutrient enrichment with high growth rates in a tropical monsoonal estuary - Zuari estuary, India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
Present study is about the impact of macronutrient enrichment on phytoplankton biomass and community structure in a tropical monsoonal estuary. In situ experiments carried out during the pre-monsoon period (February-March ...
Assimilation potential of water column biota: Mesocosm-based evaluations
(Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)
This chapter presents a generalized picture of various aspects of assimilation by native biota and underscores the importance of safeguarding the environment from excessive discharge of nutrient-rich effluents, even though ...
Deep-sea impact experiments and their future requirements
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
In recent years, several experiments to assess the potential impacts due to deep-sea mining in the Pacific as well as the Indian Oceans have indicated the immediate changes and restoration patterns of environmental conditions ...
Carbon cycling in the northern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon: Significance of salps
(Inter-Research, 2002)
Winter cooling and mixing brings nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) to the surface waters over large parts of the northern Arabian Sea, but the rates of primary production as well as carbon export from the euphotic zone are ...
Features at some significant estuaries of India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The river basins of India are classified into three groups on the basis of catchment areas: (1) above 20,000 km sup(2), (2) 2,000-20,000 km sup(2) and (3) less than 2,000 km sup(2). The total number of rivers under first ...
Chemical oceanography
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Extremes in atmospheric forcing, asymmetrically distributed over the northern Indian Ocean, bring about exceptionally large hydrographical changes and produce a wide variety of ecosystems or biogeochemical provinces. While ...
Nitrogen uptake by size-fractionated plankton in permanently well-mixed temperate coastal waters
(Oxford University Press, 2004)
Nitrogen uptake by net- (15-200 mu m), nano- (1-15 mu m) and picoplankton (less than 1 mu m) was measured over seasonal cycles at two stations with different patterns of biological and chemical cycles in the Morlaix Bay ...
The complex estuarine formation of six rivers (Cochin backwaters system on west coast of India) - Sources and distribution of trace metals and nutrients
(Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science; Colombo; Sri Lanka, 2002)
The largest backwater system on the western coast of India is the Cochin Backwaters to which 16 major industries discharge nearly 0.104 M m super(3) d super(-1) of wastes containing organic wastes at 260 t d super(-1). The ...
