Abstract:
Himalayan soils are young, unstable and prone to erosion due to its terrain, climate responsive conditions and human activities. Thus, a research was conducted to assess the dynamics of total organic carbon, particulate organic carbon, labile and non-labile carbon, lability index and carbon management index among three distinct landuse at various soil depth in north himalayan region. Mixed forest have considerably more total organic carbon (43.0 g/kg), particulate organic carbon (5.45 g/kg) followed by agricultural total organic carbon (29.58 g/kg), particulate organic carbon (3.51 g/kg) and tea garden total organic carbon (21.96 g/kg), particulate organic carbon (2.42 g/kg). There is a greater accumulation of all the indices and carbon pools at the surface layer in all landuse system. Mixed forest have higher lability index (0.77) and carbon management index (67.76) value indicating better soil health and quality. Therefore mixed forest is considered as the best landuse system in mitigating climate change through carbon storage. This study provides key details for conservation framing and reducing land deterioration in mountainous regions.

Abstract:
Two experiments were performed in order to investigate the anoxic and the aerobic degradation of filtrated organic matter in a biofilter. In submerged lab. scale reactors with Biocarbone media as filter material, accumulated particulate organic matter from pre-settled wastewater served as the only carbon source for anoxic and aerobic degradation respectively. In order to utilise the accumulated organic matter, the bacteria in the biofilm had to produce extracellular hydrolytic enzymes for the hydrolysis process. In the first experiment with anoxic degradation, a significant denitrification occurred. The maximum nitrate removal rate, with particulate organic matter as carbon source, was found to 1 g NO3-N/ (m2d), declining exponentially as rA.NO3-N = 1.04 e −4t g NO3-N/(m2d) (t = days). A significant release of soluble organic matter (< 0.45 μm) and production of inorganic carbon to the bulk liquid was observed as an indication of hydrolysis taking place. The second experiment was designed as a series of on-line OUR batch experiments in a biofilm reactor with recirculation, in order to investigate further the degradation of particulate organic matter. After the biofilm had been starved in order to remove the original organic matter, particulate organic matter was added and the degradation kinetics recorded. The initial removal rate was high, rA.02 = 2.1 g O2/(m2d) though fast declining towards endogenous respiration. The respiration ratio between removed oxygen and produced carbon dioxide was declining from 1.3 to 1.0 g O2/g CO2 during the degradation of organic particulates. The respiration ratio during endogenous respiration was determined to be 0.7 g O2/g CO2 indicating a thorough mineralisation of biomass.

Abstract:
Using China Southern Ocean’s study data collected from 1989 to 2009 year, this paper analyzed the related characteristics between phytoplankton abundance, Ch1 a concentrations and particulate organic carbon. The average cell abundance of Southern Ocean phytoplankton was 7.38×104 cells/dm3. The dominant species of Southern Ocean phytoplankton were Fragilariopsis kerguelensis, Fragilariopsis curta, Pseudo-nitzschia lineola, Eucampia antarctica, Thalassiosira antarctica and Corethron criophilum and son on. In Prydz Bay of the Southern Ocean, the contribution of phytoplankton cell abundance and phytoplankton carbon toward particulate organic carbon were higher than that in the Northern Gulf Ocean Area. In the upper layer of euphotic zone, the contribution of phytoplankton abundance and phytoplankton carbon toward particulate organic carbon were higher than that in the deep water district. Through analysis of regressive statistics, phytoplankton cell abundance (y) and particulate organic carbon (POC) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) were a remarkable positive correlation.

Abstract:
Abstract Mangrove forests are among the world’s most productive ecosystems and provide essential ecosystem services such as global climate regulation through the sequestration of carbon. A detailed understanding of the influence of drivers of ecosystem connectivity (in terms of exchange of suspended particulate organic matter), such as geomorphic setting and carbon stocks, among coastal ecosystems is important for being able to depict carbon dynamics. Here, we compared carbon stocks, CO2 fluxes at the sediment-air interface, concentrations of dissolved organic carbon and suspended particulate organic carbon across a mangrove-seagrass-tidal flat seascape. Using stable isotope signatures of carbon and nitrogen in combination with MixSIAR models, we evaluated the contribution of organic matter from different sources among the different seascape components. Generally, carbon concentration was higher as dissolved organic carbon than as suspended particulate matter. Geomorphic settings of the different locations reflected the contributions to particulate organic matter of the primary producers. For example, the biggest contributors in the riverine location were mangrove trees and terrestrial plants, while in fringing locations oceanic and macroalgal sources dominated. Anthropogenic induced changes at the coastal level (i.e. reduction of mangrove forests area) may affect carbon accumulation dynamics in adjacent coastal ecosystems.

Abstract:
In rivers and other freshwater bodies, the presence of mercury can be due to direct contamination by anthropic activities such as gold mining. However, it can also be attributed to atmospheric deposition and erosion, runoff, or lixiviation from surrounding soils. In the case of the Amazon rainforest, high mercury contents have been reported for litter and topsoil, which could affect the mercury concentrations in water bodies. Samples of suspended particulate matter were obtained from a transect of the Itenez River, associated lakes, and some of its tributaries. The aim was to obtain information on particulate mercury’s origin in the study area and determine the relationship between particulate mercury and particulate organic carbon. The concentration of mercury, organic matter, and the C:N ratio of the suspended matter was determined. The concentration of particulate mercury by water volume depended on changes in suspended matter loads, which in turn were mostly affected by the nature of the watershed or sediment resuspension. The observed values for the percentage of organic matter and the C:N ratio suggest that most of the mercury content in rivers and lakes originated from soils. A positive correlation was found between mercury concentration by weight of particulate matter and organic carbon content in particles. This correlation might be due to the direct binding of mercury to organic matter through functional groups like thiols or to an indirect effect of oxyhydroxides that can adsorb mercury and are associated with organic matter.

Abstract:
Abstract. During phytoplankton growth a fraction of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) assimilated by phytoplankton is exuded in the form of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), which can be transformed into extracellular particulate organic carbon (POC). A major fraction of extracellular POC is associated with carbon of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP; carbon content = TEPC) that form from dissolved polysaccharides (PCHO). The exudation of PCHO is linked to an excessive uptake of DIC that is not directly quantifiable from utilisation of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), called carbon overconsumption. Given these conditions, the concept of assuming a constant stoichiometric carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio for estimating new production of POC from DIN uptake becomes inappropriate. Here, a model of carbon overconsumption is analysed, combining phytoplankton growth with TEPC formation. The model describes two modes of carbon overconsumption. The first mode is associated with DOC exudation during phytoplankton biomass accumulation. The second mode is decoupled from algal growth, but leads to a continuous rise in POC while particulate organic nitrogen (PON) remains constant. While including PCHO coagulation, the model goes beyond a purely physiological explanation of building up carbon rich particulate organic matter (POM). The model is validated against observations from a mesocosm study. Maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters, such as nitrogen- and carbon loss rates of phytoplankton, are determined. The optimisation yields results with higher rates for carbon exudation than for the loss of organic nitrogen. It also suggests that the PCHO fraction of exuded DOC was 63±20% during the mesocosm experiment. Optimal estimates are obtained for coagulation kernels for PCHO transformation into TEPC. Model state estimates are consistent with observations, where 30% of the POC increase was attributed to TEPC formation. The proposed model is of low complexity and is applicable for large-scale biogeochemical simulations.

Abstract:

Polymeric and particulate organic carbon (POM) are fundamental compounds in the global cycling of carbon, and constitute significant amounts of BOD in municipal wastewater.

The main objective of this work is to study molecular size effects on degradation dynamics in biofilm systems. Specifically, the effect of substrate molecular weight on degradation kinetics and transport dynamics, location of depolymerisation enzyme activity and depolymerisation intermediate formation dynamics are assessed. A mathematical model for biofilm degradation dynamics is presented, and used for data interpretation and simulations.

Dextran, an -1,6 Glucan, was used as model substrate during batch degradation in a Rototorque biofilm reactor, in addition to batch tests on biofilm sub samples retrieved from the Rototorque, and during pure endo- and exo-Dextranase studies. Oxygen utilisation rate (OUR) estimates and bulk phase TOC mass balances were used to evaluate the effect of variable initial molecular weight on the observed half order removal coefficient (Harremoës, 1978; Rittmann and McCarty, 1980). Size exclusion-HPLC analysis for determination of bulk phase depolymerisation intermediates, and specific enzyme assays were used to evaluate transport dynamics of polymers and location of enzyme activity in the enhanced mixed population biofilm system.

Dextran removal rate decrease with increasing Dextran molecular weight. The observed areal half order removal rate coefficient, k1/2,A, demonstrate an approximate 10-fold decrease in the 1-500 kDa range, showing negative logarithmic correlation to the initial MW of Dextran. A less distinct correlation is observed above this transition limit (1-10 MDa). Evaluation of the Thiele moduli, from one step depolymerisation modelling, suggests that the logarithmic reduction in observed removal rate is caused by combined reaction rate and transport limitations. Transport limitations dominates as the polymeric substrate size increase and hinders biofilm matrix diffusion, and the removal rate becomes a surface limited process. Removal of Dextran is biomass dependent in what appears to be a non-linear dependency on biofilm thickness. Expressed as biomass areal density (g/m2), no depolymerisation is observed for thin biofilms (0.7 g/m2), slow for medium (3.7 g/m2) and high for thicker biofilms (5.2 g/m2).

Depolymerisation intermediates accumulated in the bulk phase over the entire Dextran size range during pure Dexranase studies, with even size distributions. Final products were oligo-isomaltoses (DP 2-6). Dextran was not depolymerised by -Glucosidase nor Oligo-1,6 Glucosidase. During biofilm reactor and slide sub-sample tests, low MW Dextran intermediates (1-10 kDa) accumulated in the bulk during depolymerisation of 160 kDa Dextran at 250 and 200 mg/l initial concentrations, but were not detected during experiments with 100 mg/l initial concentrations. Intermediate range Dextran (10-100 kDa) did not accumulate in either case. At the same conditions, some assimilable range Dextran (0.2-0.9 kDa) accumulated in the bulk liquid during initial 250 and 200 mg/l batches, but was not detected during 100 mg/l initial Dextran concentrations. The extent of bulk phase accumulation seems to depend on the biofilm growth rate, where more bulk phase accumulation is observed during experiments with starved compared to more actively growing biofilms. More intermediates accumulate during low MW initial standards, compared to higher. These observations indicate that the extent of bulk phase intermediate accumulation is balanced by the rate of depolymerisation, and the substrate uptake rate (growth). Accumulation of intermediate hydrolysis products in biofilm systems is therefore dependent on the slowly biodegradable organic (SBCOD) loading rate.

Dextranase was detected in the cellular fraction of the biofilms. The enzyme activity was not detected in any other biofilm sub compartments, implying that the exogenous enzyme remains attached to the cells while working on polymers. These findings support the conceptual model of Confer and Logan (1998), implying that bulk phase intermediate accumulation observed in this study and by others, is not a result of enzymatic activity in the bulk phase, but transport of intermediates from the biofilm matrix.

Doutoramento em Ciências e Engenharia do Ambiente
During the last decades a significant number of studies was performed about the cycling of carbonaceous matter in the atmosphere. Despite the efforts of the scientific community, a full understanding about the composition and formation of carbonaceous aerosol in ambient air was not yet achieved, reflecting the great variety of emitting sources and the complexity of transformation processes in the atmosphere. In addition, very little is known about a specific type of carbonaceous aerosol: the indoor carbonaceous aerosol. Removal of particulate carbonaceous matter from the atmosphere is another component of the carbon cycle that has received poor attention from researchers. The main aim of this work was to contribute to a better understanding of the sources, transformation processes and removal of atmospheric carbonaceous matter. Particulate matter, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) concentrations were measured simultaneously in the indoor and outdoor air of residences located in urban and sub-urban areas of northwestern Mainland Portugal. Average indoor to outdoor ratios (I/O) for OC were higher than 1 in occupied residences, showing that indoor sources, such as cooking, smoking, biomass burning and movement of people, strongly influenced indoor OC concentrations. In contrast, I/O ratios for EC were close to 1, except for a smokers’ residence, suggesting that indoor concentrations were mainly controlled by outdoor sources, most likely from vehicular emissions and biomass burning. Aerosol composition was also evaluated during one year in a kerbside site located in a busy road of Oporto. Road traffic, local dust and biomass burning were found to be the most important sources of aerosol particles. Most of the aerosol constituents exhibited well-defined temporal variations, which were related with the seasonal variability of source strengths, atmospheric processes and climatic conditions. In addition, precipitation samples were collected and characterized for chemical constituents at a background site in the Azores Islands and an urban site in the city of Oporto. Transport from continental areas bordering the North Atlantic Ocean were the main source of EC in the Azores. Both local emissions and long-range transport explained the levels of water soluble organic carbon found in the same samples. Concentrations of carbonaceous matter in Oporto were considerably higher than those measured before in other background areas in Portugal, indicating a significant atmospheric contamination by anthropogenic activities.
Nas últimas décadas foram desenvolvidos vários estudos sobre a circulação atmosférica da matéria carbonácea. Contudo, apesar dos esforços da comunidade científica, não se conseguiu ainda compreender detalhadamente a composição e a formação do aerossol carbonáceo no ar ambiente, o que reflete a grande variedade de fontes emissoras e a complexidade dos processos de transformação que ocorrem na atmosfera. Acresce ainda que se sabe muito pouco sobre um caso particular do aerossol de carbono: as partículas carbonáceas em suspensão no ar interior. Outra componente do ciclo do carbono que tem merecido pouca atenção da comunidade científica é a remoção das partículas carbonáceas da atmosfera. Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal contribuir para um melhor conhecimento sobre as fontes, processos de transformação e remoção da matéria carbonácea presente na atmosfera. As concentrações de matéria particulada, carbono orgânico (CO) e carbono elementar (CE) foram medidas simultaneamente no ar interior e exterior de residências localizadas em áreas urbanas e sub-urbanas da região nordeste de Portugal Continental. Os valores médios da razão entre as concentrações no ar interior e exterior (I/E) para o CO foram superiores a 1 para as residências com ocupantes, mostrando que as fontes interiores, como a confeção de alimentos, a queima de biomassa e o movimento de pessoas, influenciaram fortemente os teores de CO. Pelo contrário, obtiveram-se valores médios próximos de 1 para a razão I/E do CE, excluindo uma residência de fumadores, sugerindo que as concentrações deste componente eram controladas por fontes externas, muito provavelmente o tráfego automóvel e a queima de biomassa. A composição do aerossol foi também avaliada durante um ano num local confinante com uma estrada de tráfego intenso na cidade do Porto. Verificou-se que as principais fontes emissoras de partículas eram o tráfego automóvel, as poeiras do solo e a queima de biomassa. Muitos dos constituintes do aerossol mostraram variações temporais bem marcadas, as quais foram relacionadas com a variabilidade sazonal das fontes emissoras, dos processos atmosféricos e das condições climáticas. Procedeu-se ainda à recolha de amostras de precipitação e posterior caracterização química num local de fundo do arquipélago dos Açores e num local urbano da cidade do Porto. A principal fonte do CE nos Açores é o transporte a longas distâncias a partir das áreas continentais que envolvem o Atlântico Norte. Os teores de carbono orgânico insolúvel tiveram origem tanto em emissões locais como no transporte a longas distâncias. As concentrações de matéria carbonácea no Porto mostraram-se substancialmente superiores às que tinham sido medidas em áreas remotas de Portugal, indicando uma contaminação significativa por atividades antropogénicas.

Abstract:
L’exportació de carboni fixat mitjançant la fotosíntesi pel fitoplàncton, des de la superfície dels oceans a les capes més profundes, és un component clau de la bomba biològica de carboni i, per extensió, del cicle global del carboni, ja que manté els nivells de CO2 atmosfèrics per sota d’on es trobarien en l’actualitat si aquest procés no es donés (Feely et al., 2001; Khatiwala et al., 2009; Parekh et al., 2006). El cicle de les partícules i la seva exportació són també essencials pels cicles biogeoquímics d’altres macronutrients i espècies químiques de vital importància per la biota marina, així com metalls i contaminants d’origen antropogènic. El parell de radiotraçadors 234Th:238U ha estat utilitzat de forma extensa en l’estudi de l’exportació de partícules i en la determinació de la força de la bomba biològica de carboni en els oceans (Coale and Bruland, 1985; Le Moigne et al., 2013b). Aquesta tesi avalua els fluxos d’exportació de carboni als oceans i l’eficiència del segrest de diòxid de carboni mitjançant processos biològics fent ús d’aquest parell de radiotraçadors naturals en diversos règims oceanogràfics i sota contrastades condicions biogeoquímiques. En primer lloc, la variabilitat de l’export a escala de conca oceànica va ser examinada a l’Atlàntic Nord- Occidental al llarg d’un transsecte latitudinal (de 64ºN a l’equador) amb alta resolució espacial, proveint dades addicionals en zones sub-mostrejades. Els resultats, que coincideixen amb estudis previs que varen tenir lloc al Nord Atlàntic, van ser comparats amb diferents models d’exportació derivats de satèl·lits. Aquests models tenen una forta dependència en les estimacions de temperatura superficial del mar i producció primària neta, però normalment no consideren paràmetres biològics que influencien l’exportació de carboni, com ara l’estructura de la xarxa tròfica, la intensitat de depredació, l’eficiència de reciclatge, l’activitat bacteriana o l’exportació de carboni orgànic dissolt (Maiti et al., 2013). Les diferències observades entre les estimacions d’exportació de carboni derivades dels models de satèl·lits o del mètode del 234Th posen de manifest la necessitat d’incloure aquest tipus de paràmetres biològics a escala regional, per la qual cosa són necessaris esforços continuats d’observació. La inclusió d’aquests paràmetres reduiria la incertesa de l’inventari de carboni global i milloraria el monitoratge del cicle del carboni des de plataformes basades en satèl·lits. En segon lloc, la zonació de les propietats de les aigües superficials derivades dels diferents fronts localitzats al llarg d’un transsecte a 10ºE, de 44ºS to 53º S, en el Corrent Circumpolar Antàrtic va ser avaluada en relació amb l’exportació de partícules. Els nostres resultats mostren com, malgrat el contrast en les xarxes tròfiques observades al nord i al sud del Front Polar Antàrtic (~49ºS), la magnitud dels fluxos d’exportació de carboni era similar al llarg del transsecte. Existien diferències, però, en examinar les eficiències de transferència: a la meitat nord de la secció, la qual estava dominada per nanofitoplàncton, presentava eficiències d’exportació altes i eficiències de transferència baixes en comparació a la meitat sud de la secció, dominada per microfitoplàncton. Així doncs, malgrat que els diferents règims de xarxa tròfica donaren lloc a exportacions de carboni similars, el conjunt de partícules que sedimentaven diferia en la seva composició entre el nord i el sud del Front Polar Antàrtic (agregats de partícules petites en el nord vs partícules grans de sedimentació ràpida al sud), donant lloc a dos escenaris diferents pel que fa a la quantitat de carboni exportat que arribà a les capes més profundes. Per últim, les estimes del flux de partícules i l’eficiència d’exportació van ser examinades a una conca semitancada (el Golf de California i les aigües adjacents del Pacífic Tropical Nord Oriental) amb una estacionalitat molt marcada que va acompanyada de canvis en la comunitat fitoplanctònica. Les estimes d’exportació es varen obtenir mitjançant el mètode del 234Th, juntament amb trampes de sediment. Les dades de fraccionament per mides i l’alta ressolució vertical obtingudes amb bombes in situ van permetre la comparació de l’atenuació amb la fondària de les ràtios C/234Th entre partícules petites (1-53 μm) i grans (>53 μm). El resultats indiquen que, sota el domini de pico- i nanoplàncton i amb la presència de diazotrofs, les partícules petites juguen un paper important en l’exportació de carboni i que aquest export, en la zona d’estudi en qüestió, pot ser més eficient que l’export resultant d’una comunitat planctònica dominada per diatomees.
The particulate export of photosynthetically fixed carbon from the surface ocean to the ocean interior by marine plankton is a key component of the biological carbon pump and, by extension, of the global carbon cycle as it helps to maintain atmospheric CO2 levels lower than would occur with out this process (Feely et al., 2001; Khatiwala et al., 2009; Parekh et al., 2006). Particle cycling and export are also essential for the biogeochemical cycles of other major nutrients and chemical species of vital importance for marine biota, as well as anthropogenic metals and pollutans. The radiotracer pair 234Th: 238U as been commonly and extensively used to study particle export and determine the strength of the biological carbon pump in the upper ocean (Coale and Bruland, 1985; Le Moigne et al., 2013b). This thesis evaluates oceanic carbon export fluxes and the efficiency of the biologically mediated uptake of atmospheric CO2 using this naturally occurring radiotracer pair in a variety of regimes under contrasting biogeochemical conditions. First, basin-scale export variability was examined in the North Western Atlantic Ocean along a latitudinal transect (from 64ºN to the equator) with high spatial resolution, providing additional data in under sampled areas. The results agreed with previous studies carried out in the North Atlantic and were also compared with different satellite-derived export models. These models have a strong dependence on sea surface temperature and net primary productivity estimates, but they usually do not consider biological parameters that influence carbon export, such as the trophic structure, the grazing intensity, the recycling efficiency, the bacterial activity and the dissolved organic carbon export (Maiti et al., 2013). The differences observed between the satellite-derived and the 234Th-derived carbon export estimates highlights the necessity to include such biological parameters at a regional scale, for which continued observing efforts are needed. This would thereby reduce uncertainty in the global carbon budget and improve carbon cycle monitoring from satellite-based platforms. Second, the zonation of surface properties derived from the various fronts crossed along a 10ºE transect, from 44ºS to 53ºS, in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current were evaluated in relation to particle export. Our results show that, despite the contrasting food webs encountered north and south of the Antarctic Polar Front (~49ºS), the magnitude of the carbon export fluxes were similar along the transect. However, differences appeared when examining transfer efficiencies: in the northern section, which was dominated by nanophytoplankton, presented high export efficiencies and reduced transfer efficiencies in comparison to the southern section, dominated by microphytoplankton. Thus, and although different food web regimes led to similar export of carbon, the sinking particle pools differed in their composition north and south of the Antarctic Polar Front (aggregates of small particles in the north vs fast-sinking large particles in the south), resulting in two different scenarios regarding the amount of exported carbon that reached greater depths. Finally, estimates of particle flux and export efficiency were examined in a semi-enclosed basin (Gulf of California and the surrounding waters of the Eastern Tropical North Pacific), with a strong seasonality that leads to changes in the planktonic community. Export estimates were assessed using the 234Th approach in combination with surface-tethered sediment traps. Data on size fractionation and high vertical resolution of in situ pump deployments allowed a comparison of the C/234Th ratios attenuation with depth between small (1-53 μm) and large (>53 μm) particles. Results indicate that, under dominance of pico- and nanoplankton and with presence of diazotrophs, small particles play and important role in carbon export and that this export might be more efficient than that resulting from a diatom dominated planktonic community in the study area.

Abstract:
Small lowland agricultural systems promote conditions where benthic biological communities can thrive. These biogeochemical processes have significant impacts on terrestrial ecosystem processes including POC flux and fate, nutrient balances, water quality budges, and aquatic biological functioning. Limited information is available on coupled biological and hydrologic processes in fluvial systems. This study investigates the mixture of biological and hydrologic processes in the benthic layer in order to understand POC cycling in the South Elkhorn system. Further, comprehensive modeling of POC flux in lowland systems has not been performed previously and the behavior of potentially controlling variables, such as hydrologic forcing and seasonal temperature regimes, is not well understood. Conceptual hydraulic and sediment transport models were simulated for the South Elkhorn. Based on data and model results it was concluded that during a hydrologic event, upland and bank sources produce high variability of POC sources. Likewise, over time, the density of hydrologic events influenced accrual of benthic algal biomass in the POC pool. Environmental variables such as temperature and light availability drove seasonal variations of POC in the streambed. Based on model estimates, around 0.29 metric tCkm-2yr-1 of POC is flushed from the system annually with 13 % coming from autochthonous algae.

Abstract:
The biological carbon pump plays a key role in regulating the ocean-atmosphere balance of CO2, without it atmospheric CO2 would likely be 200ppm higher than it is today. The most rapid attenuation of downward particulate organic carbon (POC) flux typically occurs in the upper few hundred meters of the water column, yet the practical difficulties of making measurements in this dynamic region of the ocean mean that the processes controlling POC flux attenuation are still poorly understood. In this thesis, Marine Snow Catchers were deployed in the Scotia Sea, Antarctica and the northeast Atlantic to obtain intact sinking particles and investigate the relationship between particle type and attenuation rate. Faecal pellets (FP) were a major component of the flux at all stations, yet total POC attenuation varied between sites in relation to zooplankton composition and bloom timing. A novel method was employed to characterise particle-associated microbial respiration on FP, which is currently a poorly understood term. Oxygen microsensors were used to measure small scale oxygen gradients through the boundary layer at the interface of FP. Rates of particle-associated microbial respiration were too low to account for the observed large decreases in FP flux over the upper 200 m, and evidence suggests that losses via zooplankton grazing and fragmentation are more important. The importance of Antarctic krill for setting the export efficiency of POC in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) of the Scotia Sea is highlighted through unique comparisons between observed mesopelagic krill FP fluxes and predicted surface FP production. Krill FP are transferred through the upper mesopelagic much more efficiently than values of POC attenuation typically used in global biogeochemical models. I conclude that improved, regionally specific knowledge of the zooplankton community composition is vital to understand global variations in POC flux attenuation, and hence allow better predictions of ocean carbon sequestration. Ultimately carbon is lost from the organic carbon pool as CO2 via respiration, and hence in theory, at steady state, the attenuation of POC should be balanced by community respiration. In reality this balance is difficult to achieve, suggesting that our understanding is incomplete. Very low rates of both absolute and carbon specific particle-associated microbial respiration (a term missing from previous budget studies) were measured on marine snow particles collected in the northeast Atlantic and hence cannot resolve imbalances in the upper mesopelagic POC budget. Microbial disaggregation and solubilisation of POC as well as fragmentation of large particles into slowly sinking and non-sinking POC by zooplankton, may help to explain imbalances in the carbon budget, highlighting the need to measure respiration losses on both fast, slow and non-sinking pools of POC.

Abstract:
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico
Soil carbon (C) sequestration in agriculture soil is a low cost option to mitigate global climatic change. No-till (NT) associated with good husbandry practices could compensate up to 15% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions by storing the C from atmosphere as soil organic carbon (SOC). To be fully accepted as a mitigation alternative, research must be conducted to improve the accuracy of soil C sequestration estimates on field experiments as well as those made by mathematical models at regional and local scales. Complementarily, is necessary to improve the knowledge about the SOC stabilization mechanisms, delimiting the real soil´s capacity into accumulate C, quantifying how much of the stored C could be re-emitted to the atmosphere by changes in soil management. The present work is divided in four chapters with the objective to answer these questions. The first chapter has the objective to discuss the importance of sampling depth (0-0.30, 0-0.60, and 0-0.90 m) and the definition of a reliable and adequate baseline for the calculation of the C sequestration rates. Two long-term field experiments from a temperate (Mollisol) and a sub-tropical (Oxisol) climate soil were selected for this research. The experiments tested soil tillage systems (conventional tillage (CT) and NT) (Mollisol and Oxisol) and sources and rates of nitrogen amendment on corn in the Mollisol (control without N, 168 kg N ha-1 as ammonium sulfate, and 168 kg N ha-1 as organic fertilizer) and different crop rotation systems in the Oxisol (R0:soybean-wheat, R1:soybean-wheat-soybean-oat, and R2:soybean-oat-soybean-oat+vetch-corn-radish-wheat). The increase of sampling depth provided limited contribution to the estimates of C sequestration rates due to the increase of the error on SOC stocks estimates at deeper soil depths. To improve the C sequestration rate estimates, SOC temporal dynamic analysis should be preferred rather than the comparison of the SOC stocks of paired plots at a unique time point. The second chapter had the objective to apply simple mathematical equations to describe the SOC dynamics and improve the estimates of C sequestration rates and also to understand the role of the macroaggregate formation on SOC accumulation and saturation. The use of linear and kinetic (exponential growth) equation was adequate to describe the SOC dynamics increasing the accuracy of the C sequestration rate estimates by reducing errors promoted by soil spatial variability. The SOC accumulation was a function of the amount of C input to the soil and the macroaggregate formation to protect SOC. The SOC saturation process occurred from the smaller to the larger aggregate size fraction, limiting the capacity of a given superficial soil layer to accumulate SOC. However, the SOC saturation at superficial soil layers did not indicate the end of C sequestration in the soil, since the SOC accumulation occurred at sub-superficial soil layers. In the third chapter, the mathematical approach to determine changes on SOC stocks and the SOC saturation-induced limitation for C sequestration were applied to improve the accuracy of the Hénin e Dupuís (1945) one- 8 compartmental mathematical model into predict future soil C sequestration rates. The long-term field experiment from the Mollisol was selected for this research because of the better data availability (sampling years) and also by the presence of two treatments under CT and NT with SOC saturated soil layers. The mathematical adjustment (by linear equations) of the SOC dynamic coefficients improved the adjustment of the model‟s predictions. The SOC saturation-induced restriction for SOC accumulation on the mathematical model avoided the overestimation of the soil‟s potential for C sequestration. The predictions of the mathematical models indicate that the Mollisol‟s superficial layer (0-0.05 m) under NT could maintain significant C sequestration rates for up to 50 years as a function of the amount of C input to the soil. For the fourth chapter, a detailed study of the SOC pools in water-stable aggregate size fractions by granulometric and densimetric fractionation was carried out. The objective was to identify the pools where SOC accumulation was occurring and what SOC stabilization mechanisms were present. This will provide estimates of the NT potential to promote long-term C sequestration. SOC accumulation occurred preferentially in the more stable and recalcitrant SOC fractions (Mollisol and Oxisol) or in microaggregate and macroaggregate physically protected fractions (Mollisol). In the Oxisol, the SOC enrichment occurred mostly in the mineral associated-SOC fractions extra-microaggregates occluded within meso- and macroaggregates, while in the Mollisol, the SOC accumulation occurred in both intra- and extra-microaggregate mineral associated-SOC fractions. More than 78 and 92% of the C sequestration verified in the Mollisol and Oxisol, respectively, were considered as long-term by occurring in stable SOC fractions.
O seqüestro de carbono (C) em solos agrícolas é uma opção de baixo custo para mitigação das mudanças climáticas globais. O plantio direto (PD), associado a boas práticas agronômicas, pode compensar até 15% das emissões antrópicas de CO2 ao armazenar o C drenado da atmosfera na forma de carbono orgânico (CO) do solo. Para ser amplamente aceito como alternativa de mitigação, pesquisas devem ser conduzidas a fim de melhorar a precisão das estimativas de taxas de seqüestro de C em experimentos de campo, assim como as previsões feitas por modelos matemáticos em escalas regionais e locais. Complementarmente, é necessário aprimorar o conhecimento sobre os mecanismos de estabilização do CO, delimitando a capacidade real do solo em acumular C e quantificando quanto do C acumulado no solo pode ser re-emitido para atmosfera por mudança no manejo do solo. Desta maneira, o presente trabalho se divide em quatro capítulos com o objetivo de abordar estas questões. O primeiro capítulo tem por objetivo discutir a importância da profundidade de amostragem (0-0,30; 0-0,60; 0-0,90 m) e da definição de situações de linhas-base confiáveis a adequadas para o cálculo das taxas de seqüestro de C. Para isto, foram utilizados dois experimentos de longa duração sobre um solo de clima temperado (Mollisol) e outro de clima sub-tropical (Oxisol). Os experimentos testaram efeitos de sistema de preparo do solo (preparo convencional (PC) e PD) (Mollisol e Oxisol) e fontes e doses de nitrogênio para o milho no Mollisol (testemunha (T), 168 kg N ha-1 na forma de sulfato de amônia (AM) e 168 kg N ha-1 na forma de adubo orgânico (AO)) e diferentes sistemas de rotação de culturas no Oxisol (R0:soja-trigo, R1:soja-trigo-soja-aveia e R2:soja-aveia-soja-aveia+ervilhaca-milho-nabo-trigo). O aumento da profundidade de amostragem não contribuiu com a melhoria das estimativas de taxas de seqüestro de C devido ao aumento do erro nas estimativas dos estoques de CO nas camadas mais profundas de solo. Para melhoria das estimativas das taxas de seqüestro de C devem-se preferir análises temporais da dinâmica do CO no solo ao invés da comparação de estoques de CO em um único momento. O segundo capítulo tem por objetivo aplicar equações matemáticas simples para descrever a dinâmica do CO e melhorar as estimativas taxas de seqüestro de C e também entender o papel da formação de macroagregados no acúmulo e saturação de CO no solo. O uso de equações lineares e cinéticas (crescimento exponencial) foi adequado para descrever a dinâmica do CO, aumentando a precisão das estimativas de taxas de seqüestro de C ao reduzir os erros de estimativa por variabilidade espacial do solo. O acúmulo de CO no solo mostrou-se uma função da quantidade de C aportada ao solo por resíduos vegetais e a formação de macroagregados no solo para proteção do CO. O processo de saturação do solo ocorreu das menores para as maiores frações de agregados do solo, limitando a capacidade de uma 6 determinada camada de solo em acumular CO. No entanto, verificou-se que a saturação de camadas superficiais de solo não indica o fim do seqüestro de C neste solo, visto que o acúmulo de CO passa a ocorrer em camadas sub-superficiais. No terceiro capítulo, a aproximação matemática para determinar mudanças nos estoques de CO e a limitação na capacidade do solo em acumular CO promovida pelo processo de saturação dos agregados do solo foram aplicados para melhorar a precisão do modelo matemático uni-compartimental de Hénin e Dupuís (1945) em prever futuras taxas de seqüestro de C. O Mollisol foi escolhido para este estudo em função da maior disponibilidade de dados (anos de amostragem) e também pela presença de dois tratamentos em PC e PD com camada de solo saturada por CO. O ajuste matemático (por equações lineares) dos coeficientes da dinâmica do CO melhorou o ajuste das previsões do modelo com os dados observados. A restrição do modelo matemático quanto à capacidade do solo em acumular CO (saturação de CO) evitou a superestimação do potencial de seqüestro de C deste solo. As previsões do modelo matemático indicam que a camada superficial (0-0,05 m) do solo sob PD pode apresentar taxas significativas de seqüestro de C por até 50 anos, em função da quantidade de C adicionada ao solo. No quarto capítulo, foi realizado um estudo detalhado dos compartimentos do CO em função da sua distribuição em classes de tamanhos de agregados estáveis em água e o fracionamento granulométrico e densimétrico do CO. O objetivo foi identificar em quais compartimentos está ocorrendo o acúmulo de CO no solo, os mecanismos de estabilização do CO, estimando o potencial do PD em promover sequestro de C de longa duração. Verificou-se que o acúmulo de C ocorre preferencialmente em frações mais estáveis e recalcitrantes do CO (Mollisol e Oxisol) ou em frações protegidas fisicamente por micro e macroagregados (Mollisol). No Oxisol, o enriquecimento de CO ocorre principalmente nas frações de CO associadas aos minerais extra-microaggregados oclusas em meso e macroagregados de solo, enquanto que no Mollisol, o acumulo de CO ocorre tanto na fração intra como extra microagregados. Mais de 78 e 92% do seqüestro de C verificado no Mollisol e Oxisol, repectivamente, foi considerado de longa duração por ocorrer em frações estáveis do CO.

Abstract:
Burns injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. A significant burn injury affects every major organ system of the body. Initial management focuses on resuscitation along the ABCDE approach, with particular vigilance for the possibility of airway burn causing progressive edema and narrowing. Smoke inhalation is associated with carbon monoxide poisoning and possible cyanide toxicity. Fluid management depends on accurate estimation on the extent of the burn and use of a formula to calculate infusion rate, with careful monitoring of end-organ perfusion. Significant burn injuries are associated with hypermetabolic changes and a catabolic state, and burn victims are at high risk of developing sepsis. Treatment of a burn injury with debridement and skin grafting can involve multiple visits to the operating room with frequent need for sedation and anesthesia. Providers need a thorough understanding of potential anesthetic issues in burn-injured pediatric patients.

Abstract:
In this work, engine-out particulate matter (PM) mass emissions from an off-highway diesel engine measured using a low-cost photometer, scanning mobility particle sizer, elemental versus organic carbon analysis, and a photo-acoustic analyzer are compared. Tested engine operating modes spanned the range of those known to result in high semi-volatile particle concentration and those that emit primarily solid particles. Photometer measurements were taken following a primary dilution stage and a sample conditioner to control relative humidity prior to the instrument. Results of the study show that the photometer could qualitatively track total particle mass trends over the tested engine conditions though it was not accurate in measuring total carbon mass concentration. Further, the required photometric calibration factor (PCF) required to accurately measure total PM mass changes with the organic carbon (OC) fraction of the particles. Variables that influence PCF include particle effective density, which changes both as a function of particle diameter and OC fraction. Differences in refractive index between semi-volatile and solid particles are also significant and contribute to high error associated with measurement of total PM using the photometer. This work illustrates that it may be too difficult to accurately measure total engine PM mass with a photometer without knowing additional information about the sampled particles. However, removing semi-volatile organic materials prior to the instrument may allow the accurate estimation of elemental carbon mass concentration alone.

Abstract:
The AL561 cruise was conducted in the framework of the project APOC (“Anthropogenic impacts on Particulate Organic Carbon cycling in the North Sea”). This collaborative project between GEOMAR, AWI, HEREON, UHH, and BUND is to understand how particulate organic carbon (POC) cycling contributes to carbon sequestration in the North Sea and how this ecosystem service is compromised and interlinked with global change and a range of human pressures include fisheries (pelagic fisheries, bottom trawling), resource extraction (sand mining), sediment management (dredging and disposal of dredged sediments) and eutrophication. The main aim of the sampling activity during AL561 cruise was to recover undisturbed sediment from high accumulation sites in the Skagerrak/Kattegat and to subsample sediment/porewater at high resolution in order to investigate sedimentation transport processes, origin of sediment/POC and mineralization processes over the last 100- 200 years. Moreover, the actual processes of sedimentation and POC degradation in the water column and benthic layer will be addressed by sampling with CTD and Lander devices. In total 9 hydroacoustic surveys (59 profiles), 4 Gravity Corer, 7 Multicorer, 3 Lander and 4 CTD stations were successfully conducted during the AL561 cruise. - (Alkor-Berichte ; AL561)
