Microphytobenthos (MPB) are an important nitrogen (N) sink in coastal systems, but little is known about the fate of N assimilated by MPB. We used an in situ 15N pulse‐chase experiment in intertidal, nonpermeable, sandy mud to trace the assimilation, transformation, and loss from the sediment of MPB‐N over 31 d. Following assimilation, 15N was tightly retained in surface sediments, with only up to 8.1% transported to 2–10 cm sediments over 31 d. MPB accounted for a considerable portion of the 15N in surface sediments throughout the study (59% ± 13%). Bacteria rapidly assimilated 15N but accounted for only up to 17% of the 15N within surface sediments. Of the assimilated 15N, 78.9% was lost from the sediment over 31 d. Resuspension was the dominant loss pathway (74.4%) and was primarily associated with minor flooding following a rainfall event at 8 d. Biological pathways for N export were far less important. Denitrification, during both sediment exposure and inundation, was the main biological pathway for 15N loss (2.6% total), whereas there was little loss through ammonification and nitrification (NH4+ or NOx efflux; 1.4% combined) and dissolved organic nitrogen efflux (0.5%). It was estimated that the N incorporated by MPB within one emersion period would take ~ 40 d to be entirely removed from the sediment. This study highlights the potential importance of MPB and intertidal sediments for the uptake and longer‐term storage of coastal N, and the need to better quantify the impact of episodic flooding on coastal N budgets.

潮间带沉积物中微型底栖动物氮的同化和短期处理

底栖微植物 (MPB) 是沿海系统中重要的氮 (N) 汇,但对 MPB 同化 N 的命运知之甚少。我们在潮间带、不可渗透的砂质泥浆中使用原位 15N 脉冲追踪实验来追踪 MPB-N 沉积物在 31 d 内的同化、转化和损失。同化后,15N 被紧紧地保留在表层沉积物中,在 31 d 内只有 8.1% 的物质被输送到 2-10 cm 的沉积物中。在整个研究过程中,MPB 占表层沉积物中 15N 的很大一部分(59% ± 13%)。细菌迅速同化了 15N,但仅占表层沉积物中 15N 的 17%。在吸收的 15N 中,78.9% 在 31 d 内从沉积物中流失。再悬浮是主要的损失途径(74. 4%),主要与 8 天降雨事件后的轻微洪水有关。氮输出的生物途径远没有那么重要。在沉积物暴露和淹没期间,反硝化作用是 15N 损失的主要生物途径(总计 2.6%),而氨化和硝化作用(NH4+ 或 NOx 流出;1.4% 合并)和溶解有机氮流出(0.5%)几乎没有损失)。据估计,MPB 在一个再现期内吸收的 N 需要约 40 天才能从沉积物中完全去除。本研究强调了 MPB 和潮间带沉积物对沿海 N 的吸收和长期储存的潜在重要性,以及需要更好地量化偶发性洪水对沿海 N 收支的影响。在沉积物暴露和淹没期间,是 15N 损失的主要生物途径(总计 2.6%),而通过氨化和硝化(NH4+ 或 NOx 流出;1.4% 合并)和溶解有机氮流出(0.5%)几乎没有损失。据估计,MPB 在一个再现期内吸收的 N 需要约 40 天才能从沉积物中完全去除。本研究强调了 MPB 和潮间带沉积物对沿海 N 的吸收和长期储存的潜在重要性,以及需要更好地量化偶发性洪水对沿海 N 收支的影响。在沉积物暴露和淹没期间,是 15N 损失的主要生物途径(总计 2.6%),而通过氨化和硝化(NH4+ 或 NOx 流出;1.4% 合并)和溶解有机氮流出(0.5%)几乎没有损失。据估计,MPB 在一个再现期内吸收的 N 需要约 40 天才能从沉积物中完全去除。本研究强调了 MPB 和潮间带沉积物对沿海 N 的吸收和长期储存的潜在重要性,以及需要更好地量化偶发性洪水对沿海 N 收支的影响。据估计,MPB 在一个再现期内吸收的 N 需要约 40 天才能从沉积物中完全去除。本研究强调了 MPB 和潮间带沉积物对沿海 N 的吸收和长期储存的潜在重要性,以及需要更好地量化偶发性洪水对沿海 N 收支的影响。据估计,MPB 在一个再现期内吸收的 N 需要约 40 天才能从沉积物中完全去除。本研究强调了 MPB 和潮间带沉积物对沿海 N 的吸收和长期储存的潜在重要性,以及需要更好地量化偶发性洪水对沿海 N 收支的影响。
