Comparison of Rhizon Sampling and Whole Round Squeezing for Marine Sediment Porewater
The collection and chemical analysis of sedimentary porewater is central to many marine studies. Porewater alkalinity,dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), sulfate, nitrate, and other dissolved ions are used to identify and determine rates of geochemical reactions and microbial respiration pathways, suc...

description | The collection and chemical analysis of sedimentary porewater is central to many marine studies. Porewater alkalinity,dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), sulfate, nitrate, and other dissolved ions are used to identify and determine rates of geochemical reactions and microbial respiration pathways, such as sulfate reduction and denitrification (Froelich et al., 1979; Berner, 1980; Gieskes et al., 1986; D’Hondt et al., 2004; Schulz, 2006; Martin and Sayles, 2007). Ammonium is critical for understanding microbial respiration and the nitrogen cycle (Blackburn, 1988). Chloride is used to reconstruct ocean salinity variations, constrain flow rates, and estimate gas hydrate concentrations (Paull et al., 1996; Adkins et al., 2002; Spivack et al., 2002). Each of these studies requires the recovery of porewater that is not compromised by sampling artifacts. |
