摘要

Benthic ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and silicate fluxes were measured on a basin-wide scale (14 locations) in the open Skagerrak. The benthic flux measurements revealed patterns of geographic variation of nutrient fluxes in the Skagerrak. Nitrate fluxes generally reflected sediment deposition patterns and were mainly directed into the sediment in the high accumulation areas, and out of the sediment in areas with relatively little import of allochthonous organic matter. There was no relation between either organic carbon contents of sediments or water depths and benthic fluxes of any of the nutrients.
