Vertical distributions of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (DON) and phosphorous (DOP) were studied in the Southern Adriatic basin in two contrasting periods: autumn (high stratification) and winter (high extent of mixing). These data provide the first observations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) stoichiometry in a key area of the Mediterranean Sea.

A comparative study of spectrophotometric and iodometric back titration methods for hydrogen sulfide determination in anoxic basins
Basturk, O; Romanov, A; Gokmen, S; Konovalov, S (2000-01-01)
Iodometric Back Titration (TBT) and Spectrophotometric (SPM) methods are two common methods used in the determination of hydrogen sulfide concentrations in anoxic basins, like in the upper sections of the Black Sea anoxic waters. Although the results obtained by both methods are in agreement when the concentrations of sulfide are higher than 30 mu M/l, IBT analysis gives more reproducible results compared to SPM analysis. On the other hand, the reproducibility of the SPM is better than that of IBT method wh...
Spatial and Temporal Variations of Inorganic and Organic Forms of Phosphorus in the Surface and Deep Waters of Erdemli Shelf Zone of Mersin Bay
DOĞAN SAĞLAMTİMUR, NESLİHAN; Tuğrul, Süleyman (2013-01-01)
The aim of this study was to understand spatial and temporal variations of inorganic and organic forms of phosphorus in the surface and deep waters of Erdemli shelf zone of the Mersin Bay. For this goal, timeseries hydrographical and phosphorus data were obtained monthly at the three selected stations between December 2001 and December 2003. The present results have shown that the concentrations of different fractions of total phosphorus displayed a decreasing trend from nearshore to shelfbreak zone of the ...
A comparative study on the abundance and elemental composition of POM in three interconnected basins the Black the Marmara and the Mediterranean Seas
Çoban Yıldız, Yeşim; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Ediger, Dilek; Polat, Çolpan (2000-01-01)
The abundance and elemental composition of suspended particulate organic matter in the upper lay-ers of the interconnected Mediterranean, Marmara and Black Seas having different ecosystems weredetermined in 1990-1998. The aim was principally to compare the C:N:P ratio of seston and understandfactors controlling the seston composition in near- and off-shore waters of these seas. In the MarmaraSea, euphotic zone average particulate concentrations varied regionally and seasonally between 10-35 ìMf...
On the production, elemental composition (C, N, P) and distribution of photosynthetic organic matter in the Southern Black Sea
Yilmaz, A; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Polat, Colpan; EDİGER, DİLEK; Coban, Yeşim; MORKOÇ, ENİS (1998-01-01)
Chemical oceanographic understanding of the southern Black Sea has been improved by recent measurements of the optical transparency, phytoplankton biomass (in terms of chlorophyll-a and particulate organic matter) and primary productivity. During the spring-autumn period of 1995-1996, light generally penetrated only into the upper 15-40 m, with an attenuation coefficient varying between 0.125 and 0.350 m(-1). The average chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations for the euphotic zone ranged from 0.1 to 1.5 mu g ...
The chemical composition of Black Sea suspended particulate organic matter pyrolysis GC MS as a complementary tool to traditional oceanographic analyses
Coban Yıldız, Yesim; Chiavari, D; Fabbri, D; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 2000-03-01)
A “traditional” description of the abundance and chemical composition of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) in open and coastal waters of the southern Black Sea in June 1996 has been confirmed and extended by pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) analyses. Py-GC/MS provided depth profiles of the relative concentrations of twenty three marker compounds characteristic of chlorophylls (CHL), lipids, carbohydrates (CBH) and proteins produced by thermal degradation of the POM retained...
