attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Little Lagoon is a shallow coastal lagoon that is tidally connected to the
Gulf of Mexico but has no riverine inputs. The water in the lagoon is
replenished solely from precipitation and groundwater inputs primarily on the
East end (Su et al. 2012). Because of the rapid development in Baldwin County,
a large amount of NO3- enters the Little Lagoon system through SGD (Murgulet &
Tick 2008). In this region, there can be rapid changes in the depth to
groundwater (Fig. 4.1 inset) and episodic SGD inputs to the lagoon (Su et
al.2013). Within the lagoon, three sites were selected (East, Mouth, and West)
to represent the gradient that exists across the lagoon from the input of
groundwater. Sites were sampled on a near-monthly basis from February 2012 to
February 2013.

Potential denitrification and N2 fixation from slurry assays

The top 50 mm of sediment at each site were collected in duplicate with a
large core (95 mm ID) and homogenized. Potential denitrification rates were
measured following the acetylene inhibition technique (S\u00f8rensen 1978) but
may underestimate denitrification supported by coupled nitrification-
denitrification, as this method inhibits nitrification. To triplicate serum
vials, approximately 20 g of sediments and filtered (0.7 micron) site water
were added at various treatments (control and N addition (100 \u03bcM and 500
\u03bcM KNO3 -). Samples were sealed with a butyl rubber stopper, capped and
flushed with N2 gas for 10 minutes. After the addition of C2H2 (10% v/v) and a
1-hour incubation, headspace gas samples were injected into evacuated 12 ml
Exetainer vials and N2O production was quantified with a Shimadzu GC-2014 with
an electron capture detector (GC-ECD) within 24 hours.

Potential N2 fixation rates were measured as ethylene (C2H4) production from
acetylene (C2H2) reduction (Welsh et al. 1996) in triplicate from slurry
assays containing 20 g of homogenized sediment and filtered (0.7 micron) site
water. Rates of N2 fixation by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) were determined
after the addition of sodium molybdate as a specific inhibitor of the sulfate
reduction process (Hardy et al. 1973, Capone 1993). After C2H4 analysis on a
Shimadzu gas chromatograph (GC-2014) with flame ionization detection (GC-FID),
production rates of C2H4 were converted to potential N2 fixation rates using a
C2H2:N2 reduction ratio of 3:1 (Capone 1993).

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String This project investigated the link between submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and microalgal dynamics in Little Lagoon, Alabama.  In contrast to most near-shore environments, it is fully accessible; has no riverine inputs; and is large enough to display ecological diversity (c. 14x 0.75 km) yet small enough to be comprehensively sampled on appropriate temporal and spatial scales. The PIs have previously demonstrated that the lagoon is a hot-spot for toxic blooms of the diatom Pseudo-nitzchia spp. that are correlated with discharge from the surficial aquifer. This project assessed variability in SGD, the dependence of benthic nutrient fluxes on microphytobenthos (MPB) abundance and productivity, and the response of the phytoplankton to nutrient enrichment and dilution. The work integrated multiple temporal and spatial scales and demonstrated both the relative importance of SGD vs. benthic recycling as a source of nutrients, and the role of SGD in structuring the microalgal community.
