Respiration rates and fluid flow in benthic chambers at Panarea CO2 seepage during ECO2-8 cruise@en

Benthic chambers were deployed to measure total flux rates of oxygen consumption/production, nutrients and DIC within a defined volume of sediment and seawater. They were also used to assess the amount of fluid seepage coming out form sediments at the three sampling sites.本研究布设底栖通量箱（Benthic chambers），以在限定体积的沉积物与海水中测定耗氧/产氧、营养盐及溶解无机碳（Dissolved Inorganic Carbon，DIC）的总通量速率。该装置同时被用于评估三个采样点位处沉积物析出的流体渗漏量。
