不同浓度植物根系分泌物微生态效应研究

探讨夹竹桃(Nerium oleander)根系分泌物对土壤微生物量碳、呼吸强度等微生物学特征及土壤微生物群落功能多样性的影响,深入揭示夹竹桃根系分泌物的微生态效应,通过向土壤中添加植物根系分泌物溶液的方法,研究了不同浓度(CK,15 mL去离子水作为对照;LC,5 mL分泌物+10 mL去离子水;MC,10 mL分泌物+5 mL去离子水;HC,15 mL分泌物)的外源植物根系分泌物对土壤理化性质、土壤微生物群落功能多样性、微生物量碳、微生物熵、基础呼吸和代谢熵的影响。结果表明,不同浓度根系分泌物处理pH值显著低于CK(P<0.05);有机碳、含水量、全氮、碱解氮、速效磷含量显著高于CK(P<0.05),其大小表现为HC>MC>LC>CK;而土壤全磷无明显差异(P>0.05)。细菌、真菌、放线菌和微生物总数均显著高于对照(P<0.05),不同处理之间差异均显著(P<0.05),其大小表现为HC>MC>LC>CK。微生物量碳、微生物熵和基础呼吸均显著高于对照(P<0.05),不同处理之间差异均显著(P<0.05),其大小表现为HC>MC>LC>CK。土壤代谢熵表现为HC>MC>LC>CK,HC和MC差异不显著(P>0.05)。平均吸光值、物种丰富度指数、Mcintosh指数均显著高于对照(P<0.05),不同处理之间差异均显著(P<0.05),其大小表现为HC>MC>LC>CK。不同处理间优势度指数差异不显著(P>0.05)。主成分分析表明:中浓度根系分泌物处理的土壤与CK土壤微生物群落代谢特征相近,其明显不同于高浓度根系分泌物处理的土壤,说明它们对单一碳源的利用能力不同,其群落代谢特征存在差异。总体来看,高浓度的根系分泌物能够显著改变土壤微生物学特性及群落功能多样性。     

Long-term variability in the structure of subtidal benthic communities in Puget Sound,Washington, USA

Data on benthic infauna from 4 permanent stations in Puget Sound off Seattle, USA, collected during 1963–1964, 1967, and 1969, revealed considerable stability in numbers of species and specimens and in diversity within stations among sampling dates. The species composition of the faunal assemblages also remained rather constant during the period of investigation, but the relative dominance among the numerically important species varied somewhat. Biomass data did not differ significantly in 1964 and 1969, but the 1967 data were considerably lower at all stations.     

Sediment characteristics and colonization of soft-bottom benthos: a field manipulation experiment

A field manipulation experiment was carried out to test the effects of sediment characteristics (particle size and organic content) on colonization of soft-bottom benthos. Defaunated mud and sand in experimental trays were exposed at sub-tidal levels of two sites with sandy and muddy sea bottom, and retrieved monthly for examination of benthic composition. Seventy-eight out of the 107 species recorded, and 50% of the dominant species identified in the present study, were common in both the sand and mud trays. Classification analysis revealed higher faunal similarity of benthic composition in both sediment types within each of the two study sites. Results of three-way ANOVA (Sediment, Site and Time) showed that sediment effect was only significant for colonization of bivalves and gastropods, but not for polychaetes, amphipods, total species and individual numbers, or overall benthic diversity and evenness. This suggested that many of the benthic species can colonize both sediment types, and that factors other than sediment particle size and organic content may play a significant role in determining colonization of these species. The faunal composition of the same sediment type between sites was found to be different, indicating that the availability and abundance of benthic larvae/adults may be more important than sediment characteristics in determining benthic settlement. An increase in faunal similarity between mud and sand was observed over the study period, implying that the importance of sediment characteristics to benthic colonization decreased with exposure time.

三江源国家公园不同草地土壤微生物功能基因的差异性分析

土壤微生物在陆地生物地球化学循环过程中起着非常重要的作用。为了探索青藏高原高寒草地类型地上植被特性和地下土壤环境与土壤微生物功能基因之间关系,以三江源国家公园高寒草原、高寒沼泽化草甸及高寒草甸3种典型草地类型为研究对象,利用基因芯片(GeoChip 5.0)技术测定其微生物功能基因丰度,并分析它们之间的差异及影响因素。结果表明:(1)3种草地类型地上群落结构和地下土壤环境存在差异性,其中高寒草原物种多样性指数、pH值较高,沼泽化草甸中土壤含水量、微生物量碳、地上生物量、土壤速效氮含量较高,高寒草甸中则是土壤微生物量氮含量较高;(2)3种高寒草地类型的碳循环、氮循环、磷循环、有机修复的土壤微生物功能基因丰度存在显著差异,其中这些功能基因的丰度在高寒沼泽化草甸最高,高寒草甸、高寒草原次之;(3)地上植物物种多样性虽对功能基因丰度变化的解释率(r2)在57.1%-61.2%之间,但统计学上不显著(P>0.05),而微生物基因丰度随地上生物量的增加而增加,且解释率(r2)为77.5%-80.0%(P<0.05)。在pH、土壤含水量、土壤微生物量等地下土壤环境因子中,pH对功能基因丰度存在显著影响(P<0.01)解释率在83.4%-87.5%间,且土壤微生物功能基因丰度随土壤pH的增加而降低;土壤含水量、土壤微生物量对土壤微生物功能基因丰度的解释率分别为81.9%-83.1%(P<0.05)和76.8%-86.2%(P<0.05),微生物功能基因丰度随这两者含量的增加呈上升趋势。进一步运用RDA分析发现,pH、土壤微生物量、地上生物量是影响微生物功能基因丰度的主要因子,其中土壤微生物量是土壤有机质的重要组成部分,土壤有机质又是通过地上植被凋落物沉积所得到的。因此,地上植被特性的自上而下控制因子影响了土壤环境中自下而上的控制因子,间接的影响了微生物功能基因丰度。由此得出,地上植被特性和地下土壤环境因子共同作用控制了微生物功能基因丰度使其出现差异性。     

Faunal relationships among the near-reef zooplankton at three locations on heron reef,great barrier reef,and seasonal changes in this fauna

Samples of zooplankton were collected using a light trap at 5 sites in 3 locations on Heron Reef: (a) near the surface of open water 300 m south of the reef crest; (b) near the surface and at the substratum on the upper reef slope; (c) near the surface and at the substratum on a patch reef in the Heron lagoon. The collections made were analysed with respect to: (a) distribution and abundance of the taxa present; (b) faunistic relationships among samples from the 5 sites; (c) seasonal changes in both of these factors. A total of 181 taxa were recognised, many of which are identified to species, and many of which are demersal or epi-benthic in habits. At all sites, the abundance of animals increases from May to November, and faunal similarity between sites also changes. In May, reef collections are generally similar to one another and, with the exception of the slope surface collection, distinct from the open water collection. In September this pattern is enhanced, but in November slope collections more closely resemble the open water collection, while the lagoon collections are quite distinct from slope and open water collections. Lagoon surface and substratum collections also differ considerably from each other at this time. A MULTCLAS cluster analysis of the samples confirms the pattern of change in faunal relationships seen from examination of the collections. Dark-trap samples were used to assess the bias introduced by using a light to attract the animals, as well as to estimate the density of the fauna sampled. Lighttrap samples over-represent calanoid and harpacticoid copepods and gammarid amphipods, but the bias is minor and does not prevent use of a light trap as an efficient sampling tool for near-reef plankton. The density of the fauna is approximately 700 animals m^-3 at all sites. This may be a lower density than in more tropical regions. Pronounced seasonal changes occur in faunal composition of collections from open water and from surface sites. The substratum collections show more constant faunas throughout the year. Major changes are primarily in the proportions of copepods and cumaceans present. Changes in amphipod numbers are also important at lagoon sites.     

Utilization of both benthic macroinvertebrates and physicochemical parameters for evaluating water quality of the stream Cekerek (Tokat, Turkey)

This study examines the applicability of five European biotic indices and the Gammarus:Asellus ratio (G:A), compared with the measurement of physicochemical parameters, in order to determine the water quality at ten sites along the Tokat part of Cekerek stream, in Anatolia, Turkey, during the period February 2002 to January 2003. The biological and chemical results are in good agreement with respect to the water quality. In particular, the G:A ratio was calculated to be high at the first three stations and this result was correlated with the ETBI and the Chandler scores. Consequently, the water quality of Cekerek stream was classified as class I for biological and physicochemical data, except for phosphate, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate and nitrite at the last seven stations. The high concentrations of these chemicals probably result from agricultural runoff and urban sewage. In total, 55 taxa of benthic macroinvertebrates were identified from the Cekerek stream during this study period.     

Microphytobenthos of the Dogger Bank: a comparison between shallow and deep areas using phytopigment composition of the sediment

The surface sediment characteristics related to benthic microalgae primary production were studied at the Dogger Bank, North Sea, in order to evaluate the potential role of microphytobenthos as a food source for the macrobenthic fauna. Twenty-one stations were sampled in July 2001 and May 2002, with water depth ranging from 16.3 to 68.5 m. High-performance liquid chromatography pigment analyses revealed that concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c and fucoxanthin are mainly associated with benthic diatom flora at most parts of the Dogger Bank. High percentage of phytopigments (>50%) was firmly attached to sand grains at the stations shallower than 40 m water depth. The deeper stations were characterized by a phytopigment composition originating from pelagic phytoplankton settled on the sea floor. Qualitative microscopy showed that the benthic microflora on top of the Bank mainly consists of small diatoms (5–10 μm), such as e.g., Diploneis spp., living attached to the sand grains. The results are discussed concerning possible implications for ecology and biogeochemistry of the Dogger Bank area.     

Algal community used for assessment of water quality of Haranbaree dam and Mosam river of Maharashtra

An algal community was used to assess the quality of water of Haranbaree dam and Mosam river of Maharashtra. Pollution tolerant genera and species of 4 groups of algae from each of 3 stations of Haranbaree dam and Mosam river were recorded. By using Palmer's index of pollution for rating of water samples the total score of each station of study area was greater than 20 indicating the confirmed high organic pollution. 34 pollution tolerant genera were recorded at all stations of dam and river. Out of 34 pollution tolerant genera, 27 genera and 33 genera were observed at the dam and river sites respectively. In present study 22 pollution tolerant species are observed at dam and river sites.     

Tisbe (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) species from the Lagoon of Venice. I. Seasonal fluctuations and ecology

Distribution and abundance of Tisbe species were studied throughout a period of 3 years at 3 stations in the Lagoon of Venice (Italy). At 2 other stations samples were taken occasionally, as also at the Lido station (open sea). Twelve species may be considered as common inhabitants of the lagoon, and 3 species appear to be occasional transients, compared to the 9 species found at the Lido. A comparison of the physical data shows that the stations were similar in temperature and salinity, but differed primarily in pH values, sediment characteristics, algal substratum and faunal benthic community. The fact that remarkable differences in species composition and distribution of Tisbe could be observed between the various parts of the lagoon and the lagoon and the open sea, indicates that temperature and salinity are not so important for species diversity as are biotic factors. A particularly strong difference existed between samples taken at the bottom and from pilings, which constitute a very special biotope for the benthic communities in the lagoon and seem to be a preferred habitat for T. lagunaris and T. cucumariae. The data suggest that there is a certain interaction between T. holothuriae and the other species. Whenever T. holothuriae was abundant, the other species were rare, but T. clodiensis, T. dobzhanskii (Stations 1 and 2) and Tisbe sp. (Station 3) attained high relative abundance whenever T. holothuriae decreased considerably in number. T. holothuriae represents certainly the hardiest species of the lagoon, displaying a great ability to cope with stress conditions, even those present in the interior lagoon where strong fluctuations in salinity, temperature, pH and oxygen prevail.     

恩诺沙星对土壤细菌数量及微生物生物量碳的影响

为了评价兽药恩诺沙星(Enrofloxacin,ENR)对土壤微生物的影响,采用平板计数法和熏蒸浸提法研究了不同含量恩诺沙星(wENR)对土壤细菌数量和土壤微生物生物量碳(MBC)含量的影响.结果发现,添加药物组细菌数量和土壤微生物生物量碳含量均低于对照组,且药物含量越高,细菌数量和土壤微生物生物量碳含量越低;较低含量的恩诺沙星(wENR<0.1μg·g-1,细菌数量;wENR<1μg·g-1,MBC)对细菌数量和微生物生物量碳含量影响不显著(与对照组比较,p>0.05),而较高含量的恩诺沙星(wENR≥0.1μg·g-1,细菌数量;wENR≥1μg·g-1,MBC)则影响显著(与对照组比较,p<0.05).以上结果表明恩诺沙星残留可显著影响土壤细菌数量和微生物生物量碳含量,进而可能影响土壤特性和土壤的一些生态过程。     

近地层臭氧浓度升高对麦田土壤微生物群落功能多样性的影响

利用中国臭氧FACE(Free-air O3concentration enrichment,开放式空气臭氧浓度增高)试验平台,通过测定麦季土壤水溶性有机碳含量、土壤呼吸强度和BIOLOG指标,研究了近地层臭氧浓度升高50%条件下(~70 nmol mol-1),麦田土壤微生物功能多样性的响应.结果发现,臭氧浓度升高下麦田土壤水溶性有机碳含量提高,土壤微呼吸强度增加,平均吸光值显著高于对照(P<0.05).多样性指数结果显示,臭氧浓度升高对麦田土壤微生物丰富度和优势度指数没有显著影响,但是臭氧处理下均一度指数显著高于对照(P<0.05);主成分分析显示,相对于其它碳源,臭氧浓度升高对麦田土壤微生物的糖类物质利用能力的影响最大.研究揭示了1.5倍的近地层臭氧浓度增强了麦田土壤微生物碳源利用能力,特别是非优势微生物.     

Toxic mine drainage from Asia’s biggest copper mine at Malanjkhand,India

This paper has studied the environmental deterioration due to copper mining in Malanjkhand at Central-east India. No data is available on environmental degradation at the studied site although geological aspects are well studied. Mine drainage from the mines is definitively toxic. The site is also undergoing various stages of acid mine drainage (AMD) particularly from the heap leaching sites and the tailing area. AMD impacted water steam and sediment were also analysed. Results show substantial level of contamination of almost all segments of environment. Presence of elevated level of other heavy metal viz. Au, Ag, Pb, Cr, Cd, Fe, Cu and base metals like Na, K in AMD impacted water and sediments is due to metal leaching effect of AMD. Bio monitoring with the help of benthic macro invertebrates and metal accumulation in plants was also carried to know the impact of the toxic drainage. Results prove a very significant impact on the environmental health.     

多壁碳纳米管对土壤微生物的生态毒理效应

以多壁碳纳米管为研究对象,从生化作用、酶活性、微生物数量和群落结构4个方面系统评估其对土壤微生物的影响。设置两组实验,分别为碳纳米管组和对照组。对于碳纳米管组,按1mg碳纳米管·g-1土的浓度将多壁碳纳米管与土样均匀混合,对照组中不加入多壁碳纳米管。定期(每28d)取样测定两组土壤中的各项生态毒理指标。近5个月的实验结果显示,不同指标对多壁碳纳米管的响应不同。土壤呼吸作用初期受抑制但后期恢复,氨化作用初期被促进但后期被抑制,脱氢酶活性发生增强和抑制两次波动,荧光素二乙酸酯酶活性在整个实验期间一直被抑制,微生物量出现先减少后增加再减少的规律,群落结构在实验初期和后期均有较大变化。总体上,多壁碳纳米管对土壤微生物表现了一定的生态毒性,但除荧光素二乙酸酯酶活性外,各毒理效应在统计意义上并不显著(0.05水平)。     

砷尾矿污染土壤的细菌群落结构多样性及其相关环境影响因子分析

以湖南石门雄黄尾矿污染土壤为对象,研究纵向不同深度、横向不同距离土样中的重金属污染程度以及细菌群落结构变化规律,查明砷污染土壤的核心微生物组成并将其与土壤理化指标进行共存网络图分析。结果表明:该尾矿区的土壤各项重金属指标严重超标,尤以铅(626.54 mg·kg^?1,Ei=105.48)、砷(1804.75 mg·kg^?1,Ei=565.75)、镉(31.46 mg·kg^?1,Ei=7491.5)的生态危害性最强;土壤采样深度与重金属综合潜在生态风险指数(RI)呈显著正相关(r=0.79,P=0.000),而横向样品中RI与采样距离显著负相关(r=?0.85,P=0.000)。在污染土壤中,变形杆菌门(Proteobacteria,54.35%±17.16%)和放线杆菌门(Actinobacteria,22.39%±10.64%)占主导地位,属层级中假单孢杆菌属(Pseudomonas,16.47%±11.84%)、不动杆菌属(Acinetobacter,8.07%±7.11%)以及硫酸状杆菌属(Acidithiobacillus,7.53%±14.68%)相对丰度较高;而26个共享类群占据了该尾矿污染土壤中微生物群落总平均相对丰度90%以上,尽管不同属的具体相对丰度在不同样品间的分布趋势差异较大。纵剖采集的污染土样中,铁原体属(Ferroplasma)、硫酸状杆菌属(Acidithiobacillus)、硫化杆菌属(Sulfobacillus)、乳杆菌属(Lactobacillus)和硝化螺旋菌属(Nitrospira)占优势,与理化的共存网络图分析(相关系数|r|≥0.6,P<0.05)显示部分类群与亚铁、游离态砷和镉成显著正相关,而与pH成显著负相关;横向采集的土样中,以嗜酸菌属(Acidiphilium)、假单孢杆菌属(Pseudomonas)、棒状杆菌属(Corynebacterium)、硫杆菌属(Thiobacillus)等为主,部分类群与总砷、铅成显著正相关,而与结合态或包蔽型砷成显著负相关。综上,该研究不仅对目标区域尾矿不同重金属污染程度进行了分析,同时探讨了污染土壤中核心响应类群的组成多样性,为筛选潜在重金属抗性菌群或工程菌群提供理论基础。     

土荆芥不同发育期根际土壤养分、酶活及微生物数量的变化

采用盆栽试验,通过比较土荆芥营养期和果期根际土壤中养分、土壤酶活和微生物数量的变化规律,明确土荆芥入侵对土壤生态系统的影响效应,为进一步了解土荆芥入侵机理和制定防控措施提供理论依据.结果表明：（1）土荆芥入侵对土壤养分具有一定的影响.与对照相比,除了土荆芥营养期根际土壤总钾的含量增加了12.26%外,所测其它土壤养分指标均不同程度下降.其中,果期总钾含量降低3.27%,营养期和果期的有机质含量分别降低20.41%和1.22%、总氮含量分别降低27.87%和16.39%、总磷含量分别降低29.41%和14.71%、速效磷含量分别降低49.24%和34.69%、速效钾含量分别降低76.65%和57.22%;（2）土荆芥的生长对土壤胞外酶具有-定的影响.与对照相比,营养期和果期土壤硝酸还原酶活性显著升高（P〈0.05）,分别升高了87.23%和137.23%;营养期的脲酶活性降低了45.92%,与对照差异显著（P〈0.05）;营养期和果期根际土壤的蔗糖酶、酸性磷酸酶、过氧化氢酶活性的变化均未达到显著程度（P〉0.05）;（3）土壤微生物数量随着土荆芥生长而增加,但只有真菌数量与对照的差异达到显著水平（P〈0.05）,营养期和果期真菌数量分别增加32.11%和86.18%;（4）与果期相比,营养期土壤养分含量、土壤酶活性和微生物数量普遍较低,推测土荆芥生长初期通过降低土壤营养水平,抑制其周围对营养水平要求较高的植物生长,以获得竞争优势,而果期则通过释放根系分泌物增加了土壤微生物数量和土壤酶活,使土壤养分回升,从而为其繁殖提供有利条件.     

硫酸铵施用量和温度对红壤稻田土硝化作用及微生物特性的影响

以红壤稻田土为供试土壤,设置不同硫酸铵(简称硫铵)施用量,分别在15、25、35℃条件下培养,研究短期内土壤硝化作用、微生物生物量和微生物功能多样性的变化。结果表明,在相同硫铵施用量下,不同温度处理土壤NH4+含量差异不显著;温度变化对于对照和常规硫铵用量(折纯N 120 mg·kg-1)处理土壤NO3-含量有显著影响,但对中、高量(折纯N 600和1 200 mg·kg-1)处理无显著影响。对照和常规硫铵用量处理土壤硝化速率均随温度升高而显著增加;中、高量硫铵处理土壤硝化速率普遍较低,且不同温度之间差异不显著;相同温度条件下,硝化速率随硫铵施用量的升高而降低。中、髙量硫铵处理对土壤微生物生物量碳有显著影响,且土壤微生物生物量碳随硫铵施用量的增加而显著降低;相同硫铵施用量下,不同温度处理土壤微生物生物量碳由高到低大致为25、15和35℃。BIOLOG分析显示,中、高量硫铵处理平均吸光值和多样性指数均较低,各处理中以25℃时对照处理的平均吸光值和Shannon、Simpson、McIntosh指数最大,其次为25℃时常规硫铵用量处理。过量施用硫铵有可能造成土壤生物结构和功能衰变。     

Cu、抗生素协同污染对土壤微生物活性的影响

随着畜禽养殖业的规模化发展,重金属和抗生素在土壤环境中协同污染的几率不断升高。为分析和评价重金属、抗生素协同污染对土壤微生物生态系统的影响,以Cu、磺胺甲基嘧啶为添加毒物,其中,Cu的添加质量分数为0、100、500mg·kg-1;磺胺甲基嘧啶的添加质量分数为0、5、25、50、100mg·kg-1,采用室内培养试验的方法研究分析了cu、磺胺甲基嘧啶协同污染对土壤微生物微生物基础呼吸、微生物量碳、微生物量氮、硝化势、尿酶以及脱氢酶等土壤微生物指标的影响。结果表明,与磺胺甲基嘧啶单独污染处理相比,在Cu的质量分数为100mg·kg。协同污染污染下土壤微生物呼吸,土壤微生物量碳、氮以及土壤尿酶等指标的活性均明显增加;即表明它们对Cu与磺胺甲基嘧啶的协同污染表现出不同程度的交互抗性;在cu的协同污染质量分数为500mg·kg-1,Cu与磺胺甲基嘧啶对土壤各微生物指标则基本表现为协同抑制作用;在不同剂量Cu的协同污染处理下,当磺胺甲基嘧啶处理质量分数≥10mg·kg-1时,各土壤微生物指标的活性随着其处理质量分数的增加而显著降低,表现出很好的剂量依赖效应。因此,低剂量的Cu．磺胺甲基嘧啶协同污染可能会诱导土壤微生物对二者产生交互抗性;而高剂量协同污染则对土壤微生物生态功能产生较为严重的协同抑制作用。     

Composition of the near-reef zooplankton at Heron Reef,Great Barrier Reef

Using a light trap, zooplankton was sampled at three stations at Heron Reef, Great Barrier Reef: (a) a typical patch reef in the Heron lagoon, (b) a site in 8 m water on the southern slope of Heron reef, and (c) a station approximately 300 m south of (b), in the open water of the channel between Heron and Wistari reefs. Samples were taken at the surface and on the substratum at the lagoon and reef-slope stations, and at 3 to 6 m depth at the open-water station. A total of 114 taxa, many recognized as species, were distinguished in the samples. Pronounced differences existed in abundance, diversity, and taxonomic composition of the samples obtained at different stations. Less pronounced differences existed between surface and substratum samples from the same station. Near-reef samples were more similar to one another than to open-water samples. Decapod larvae, amphipods, and cumaceans were all abundant in near-reef samples and very rare in open-water samples. Forams, isopods, mysids and polychaetes were common in near-reef samples, and rare or absent in open-water samples. Copepods were abundant in all samples but the near-reef samples contained predominantly different species than did samples from the open water. The near-reef fauna included 66 taxa which did not occur in open-water samples. Many of these were epibenthic rather than strictly planktonic in behaviour.     

Sedimentary Pigments and Organic Matter in Relation to Benthic Fauna in the Tan-Shui Estuary,Taiwan

The benthic ecological structure of the Tan-Shui estuary, Taiwan is changed due to long term effects of dumping of urban wastewater and of engineering actions. to monitor these changes, we sampled and analyzed benthos and sediment from 12 stations on the estuary.

The composition of the dominant species of benthos varied seasonally, with molluscan and crustacean species having greater numbers and higher frequencies of occurrence than other species. the dominant taxa during winter were Nassarius sp. and Maldanidae at two stations. Analysis using Simpson's index and Shannon's index showed the benthic community varied more in coastal areas than in offshore areas.

Physicochemical analysis showed that most of the Tan-Shui estuary consisted of sandy sediment. the variations in concentrations of organic carbon and total nitrogen at each station were small. Although the concentrations of chlorophyll-a and carotenoid at all stations were generally low, the two stations had the highest concentrations, and we concluded that the concentration of pigments in these sediments was related to the abundance of benthos. the community structure of the benthos reflected the characteristics of the sediments, and benthic species exhibited selection of and adaptation to specific sedimentary environments.
