Background: The speciation of dissolved sulfide in the water immediately surrounding deep-ocean hydrothermal vents is critical to chemoautotrophic organisms that are the primary producers of these ecosystems. The objective of this research was to identify the role of Zn and Fe for controlling the speciation of sulfide in the hydrothermal vent fields at the Eastern Lau Spreading Center (ELSC) in the southern Pacific Ocean. Compared to other well-studied hydrothermal systems in the Pacific, the ELSC is notable for unique ridge characteristics and gradients over short distances along the north-south ridge axis.

Changes of Eutrofication Indicator Parameters (TP, DIN, Chl-a and TRIX) in the Cilician Basin (Northeast Mediterranean) TUĞRUL, SÜLEYMAN; Uysal, Zahit; Erdogan, Emine; Yucel, Nebil (2011-01-01) Eutrophication processes and changes in coastal ecosystem are determined by the coastal/open sea interactions and rates of nutrient pollution. The Cilician Basin shelf waters are affected not only by intense industrial activities and increased population, but also by complex atmosphere-sea-land interactions. There is a recognizable difference between water qualities of Mersin bay coastal and the Cilician open waters depleted in nutrients. Eutrophic conditions have developed in the eastern bay shallow waters...
Effects of water temperature on summer periphyton biomass in shallow lakes: a pan-European mesocosm experiment Mahdy, Aldoushy; Hilt, Sabine; Filiz, Nur; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Hejzlar, Josef; Ozkundakci, Deniz; Papastergiadou, Eva; Scharfenberger, Ulrike; Sorf, Michal; Stefanidis, Kostas; Tuvikene, Lea; Zingel, Priit; Sondergaard, Martin; Jeppesen, Erik; Adrian, Rita (2015-07-01) Periphyton communities play an important role in shallow lakes and are controlled by direct forces such as temperature, light, nutrients, and invertebrate grazing, but also indirectly by planktivorous fish predation. We performed a pan-European lake mesocosm experiment on periphyton colonization covering five countries along a north/south geographical/temperature gradient (Estonia, Germany, Czech Republic, Turkey, and Greece). Periphyton biomass on artificial polypropylene strips exposed at 50 cm water dept...
VARIABILITY IN PHYTOPLANKTON PIGMENT COMPOSITION IN MERSIN BAY YÜCEL, NEBİL; Uysal, Zahit; TUĞRUL, SÜLEYMAN (2017-01-01) Phytoplankton pigment composition and associated biochemical (chlorophyll a, nitrate+nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, silicate) and physical (temperature, salinity) parameters were studied seasonally in the river-fed eutrophic coastal and oligotrophic offshore waters of the Mersin Bay located on NE Mediterranean. Total chlorophyll a concentrations varied seasonally between 0.023-7.73 µg/L in the river fed coastal zone (salinity: 36.54-39.68), exhibiting less seasonality in the offshore station (0.01-0.91 µg/L)....
Ionic composition of rainwater on the Black Sea Coast of Turkey Tuncer, Pınar; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2019) Composition of rainwater is a measure of pollutant deposition to marine and terrestrial ecosystem. Soluble fraction of wet deposited pollutants are even more important because they are bioavailable to fish in the sea and plants on the land. In addition to their harmful effects on plant and animal life, inorganic ions, trace elements and organic compounds in rainwater can also be used as tracers of long-range transport to receptor. In this study, chemical composition of rainwater samples collected at Amasra ...
Effects of river inputs on particulate organic matter composition and distributions in surface waters and sediments of the Mersin Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean Sea Akçay, İsmail; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Özhan, Koray (2022-05-01) Terrestrial inputs-induced eutrophication in the P-depleted Northeastern (NE) Mediterranean shelf waters has led to changes in particulate organic matter (POM) composition and distributions in the water column and surface sediments. The present study aimed to understand the impacts of terrestrial nutrient and POM inputs on coastal eutrophication, bulk POM composition and concentrations in surface waters and sediments of the Mersin Bay, located at the Cilician Basin of NE Mediterranean Sea. The present resul...
