Abstract

Abstract

The marine sediment/particles is the key sources and sinks of the biogenic elements in marine environments. On the one hand, the marine sediment/particles is the main sink of the biogenic elements, the biogenic elements from the dissolved state may be changed into particles by complex biochemical processes and the particulate matter can be settled to form sediments, on the other hand, marine sediment/particles can be decomposed by microorganisms-zooplankton-benthos and the biogenic elements released into seawater to be used again by phytoplankton. Therefore, the marine sediment/particles have the very important ecological functions. Phytoplankton is the absorptioner of dissolved biogenic elements in seawaters and the initial formationer of the particle biogenic elements. Zooplankton can also use dissolved biogenic elements or form larger particles by feeding on phytoplankton or other organic particulates, which plays a key role in the particulate biogenic element cycling. The particles can settle to sediments and release the biogenic elements into the water by the processes of feeding-disturbance-breakup of benthic organisms. The functions of different biological communities in ecosystems are different but interrelated in the mineralization processes of releasement and sedimentation of the biogenic elements in particulate. In particular, the ingestion and metabolism of zooplankton and benthos, and the decomposition process of microorganisms play very important role in the biogenic elements. Therefore, the research of marine sediment/particles ecological functions, as a support of the marine environment-resources sustainable use and the marine scientific frontier areas, will get the development by leaps and bounds.
