| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Sedimentary facies and benthic metabolism of subtidal sediments were studied in a relatively small, but historically active bay in Southern Nova Scotia, Canada.
Our study approach was based on the combination of benthic habitat mapping, field/lab experiments, and numerical models of sediment geochemistry. This approach provided an effective mean for ecosystem-scale assessments of key benthic processes
(carbon recycling, denitrification, etc.). The distribution of bottom types and sediment properties was assessed using direct (grabs and core sampling) and remote (video and acoustic) sampling methods. The geo-referencing, classification, and
interpolation of sediment properties (acoustic data, bathymetry, organic matter content, sediment porosity, etc.) allow to produce maps showing their spatial distribution, which instead served as input of numerical models oriented to predict carbon
and nitrogen recycling rates at bay-scale. This approach become relevant given the commonly limited spatial and temporal resolution of biogeochemical measurements.
Results are discussed in regard to the implications for coastal management
(maintenance of ecosystem functioning), and understanding of coastal biogeochemical cycles. Data quality and accuracy of spatially interpolated data was also evaluated, including their impacts on model predictions. |
