Trawling-induced sediment resuspension reduces CO2 uptake Based on sediment samples from Kiel Bight, the researchers investigated the geochemical consequences of sediment resuspension Their conclusion: areas with fine-grained sediments, which
Bottom-trawling stops ocean absorbing carbon dioxide, says study The paper – titled Sediment resuspension in muddy sediments enhances pyrite oxidation and carbon dioxide emissions in Kiel Bight – is now published in the scientific journal Communications Earth and Environment
Supplementary Material Grain size characteristics based on sediments used in this study Supplementary Figure 4 Frequency distribution of the grain size measurements
Trawling-induced sediment resuspension reduces CO2 uptake To study the effects of sediment resuspension, the researchers conducted sediment slurry incubations They collected sediment samples from different sites in Kiel Bight — ranging from
Trawling-Driven Sediment Disturbance Lowers Ocean CO2 Absorption Conducted in the Kiel Bight region of the western Baltic Sea, this research reveals that the oxidation of pyrite—a mineral commonly found in fine-grained, oxygen-depleted seabed sediments—plays a far more dominant role in CO₂ release upon sediment disturbance than previously recognized
Trawling-induced sediment resuspension reduces CO2 uptake The results show that sediment resuspension leads to substantially greater CO₂ emissions than previously thought — mainly due to the oxidation of pyrite When this iron-containing mineral, typically found in oxygen-poor, muddy seafloor sediments, is disturbed it reacts with oxygen in the water
