CHAPTER OUTLINE FOR III.2
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Bob,
Here is the initial draft of our chapter as arrived at by Linda, Iris
and me. Let me know what you think.
Frank
III.2. Controls on Organic Matter Accumulation Across a Coastal Lagoon
Landscape
A. OM Distribution Across the Landscape
- organic matter as an integrator of processes
- "map" of OM across the landscape
- inclusion of general ecosystem theories and paradigms
B. Processes Contributing to OM Content
1) Primary production (above and belowground)
2) Decomposition
3) Nutrient transformations (C and N dynamics within landscape
components)
4) Nutrient exchanges (C and N transport among landscape
components)
C. Free Surfaces as Forcing Functions Controlling OM
1) Terrestrial
2) Terrestrial aquatic interface (marshes)
3) Aquatic
D. Impact of Disturbance
1) Effects on the relationship among free surfaces
2) Effects on processes contributing to OM
3) Effects on OM accumulation
E. Other Controlling Factors (e.g. N availability, others?)
- some of these will be more important in select landscape
components
1) Effects on processes contributing to OM
2) Effects on OM accumulation
F. Summary
