Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

We have developed a new method to calculate the apparent sediment diffusion coefficient from oxygen gradient measurements and independently measured downward-directed oxygen production fluxes, both measured with microelectrodes (microelectrode gradient/production method). Diffusion coefficients calculated in this way differed at most 13% from the apparent sediment diffusion coefficients calculated using the bell jar/microelectrode method. The microelectrode gradient/production method was applied to emerged sediments of the Oosterschelde Estuary (SW Netherlands). The Q10 value for this rate ranged from 1.3 to 2.7. Two types of oxygen consumption rates were distinguished. A light-independent oxygen consumption rate depending on diffusion from the overlying water or air was found, varying between 0.63 to 3.65 mmol O2/m2/h at different stations. This consumption increased by 12 to 14% of the gross oxygen production during the emersion period in light, in the presence of benthic microalgal production. A net outflux of maximum 45 mmol O2/m2 was found for the entire emersion period.
