No Strong Evidence of Priming Effects on the Degradation of Terrestrial Plant Detritus in Estuarine Sediments

The occurrence of priming effects (PEs) on the degradation of particulate terrestrial organic matter (OM) (13C-wheat detritus) was studied in marine sediments using phytoplankton detritus as priming inducer. Two scenarios, i.e., single-pulse vs. repetitive deposition of same amounts of algal detritu...
