Carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of suspended particulate organic matter in Zuari Estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
The spatio-temporal variations of the δ13C and δ15N of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM), along with ancillary chemical and hydrographic parameters, have been examined monthly for one year (October 2010 to September ...
Iron fertilization enhanced net community production but not downward particle flux during the Southern Ocean iron fertilization experiment LOHAFEX
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
A closed eddy core in the Subantarctic Atlantic Ocean was fertilized twice with two tons of iron (as FeSO<sub>4</sub>), and the 300 km<sup>2</sup> fertilized patch was studied for 39 days to test whether fertilization ...
Massive Nitrogen Loss Over the Western Indian Continental Shelf During Seasonal Anoxia: Evidence From Isotope Pairing Technique
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)
The western Indian continental shelf houses the world's largest naturally formed coastal low-oxygen zone that develops seasonally during the summer monsoon. We investigated multiple reductive nitrogen transformation pathways ...
Spatial variation of phytoplankton pigments along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2006)
Phytoplankton composition and abundance were studied along the southwestern Indian coast toward the end of the upwelling season in October 2004. Phytoplankton pigment analyses, complemented by limited microscopic counts, ...
Diversity of nitrite reductase genes (nirS) in the denitrifying water column of the coastal Arabian Sea
(Inter-Research, 2004)
Denitrification often occurs in the water column, underlying zones of intense productivity and decomposition in upwelling regions. In the denitrifying zone off the southwest coast of India, high concentrations of nitrite ...
Cyclone phyan-induced plankton community succession in the coastal waters off Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)
Effects of the cyclonic storm Phyan, which hit the states of Goa and Maharashtra in western India during 9-12 November 2009, on coastal waters were studied. Mixing induced by the cyclone appreciably affected the vertical ...
Intra-annual variability of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in suspended organic matter in waters of the western continental shelf of India
(The European Geosciences Union, 2011)
Intra-annual variations of delta sup(13)C and delta sup(15)N of watercolumn suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM) have been investigated to understand the biogeochemical cycling of C and N in the Western Continental ...
Ecological diversity of planktonic protists in spatial regimes of the Arabian Sea revealed through next-generation sequencing
(Elsevier, 2019)
Eukaryotic microbes inhabiting diverse ecological niches are capable of mediating biogeochemical shifts. Here, we studied the distribution patterns of protistan community in oxygen-deficient sites in the Arabian Sea and ...
Comparative organic geochemistry of Indian margin (Arabian Sea) sediments: Estuary to continental slope
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)
Surface sediments from sites across the Indian margin of the Arabian Sea were analysed for their elemental and stable isotopic organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>) and total nitrogen compositions, grain size distributions and ...
Massive Methane Loss During Seasonal Hypoxia/Anoxia in the Nearshore Waters of Southeastern Arabian Sea
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)
Repeat observations over the Kochi and Mangalore shelves of the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during April to December 2012 revealed substantial accumulation of methane (CH4) in the nearshore waters (48.6 � 34.4 nM) ...
