چکیده انگلیسی
Bay-wide, the accumulation of chlorophyll-a on sediments by late spring averaged 171 mg mâ2, from which the chlorophyll-a and carbon sinking fluxes, respectively, were estimated to be 353 mg mâ2 and 26.5 gC mâ2. These deposition estimates were â¼50% of estimates based on a sediment trap study in the mid-Bay. During 1993-2000, the highest average chlorophyll-a flux was in the mid-Bay (248 mg mâ2), while the lowest was in the lower Bay (191 mg mâ2). Winter-spring average river flow was positively correlated with phytoplankton biomass in the lower Bay water column, while phytoplankton biomass in that same region of the Bay was correlated with increased chlorophyll-a deposition to sediments. Responses in other regions of the Bay were less clear and suggested that the concept that nutrient enrichment in high flow years leads to greater phytoplankton deposition to sediments may be an oversimplification. A comparison of the carbon flux associated with the deposition of the spring bloom with annual benthic carbon budgets indicated that the spring bloom did not contribute a disproportionately large fraction of annual carbon inputs to Chesapeake Bay sediments. Regional patterns in chlorophyll-a deposition did not correspond with the strong regional patterns that have been found for plankton net community metabolism during spring.
