Influence of hypoxia on phosphorus cycling in Alappuzha mud banks, southwest coast of India
D Mathew, TR Gireeshkumar, KK Balachandran… - Regional studies in …, 2020 - Elsevier
The southwest coast of India is known to experience two concurrent processes during the
southwest monsoon, namely coastal upwelling and mud banks at selected stretches such as
that off Alappuzha. The mud bank sediments were found to contain very high concentrations
of phosphorus (ave. 2255±278 μ g/g), and the present study measured changes in
concentration of elements such as carbon, phosphorus, iron, and manganese within the
Alappuzha mud banks, to understand the influence of upwelling on the cycling of these …
