  • A new look at the multi-G Model for orGanic carbon deGradation in surface marine sediments for coupled benthic-pelaGic simulations of the Global ocean
    Biogeosciences, 2018
    Co-Authors: Konstantin Stolpovsky, Andrew W. Dale, Klaus Wallmann
    Abstract:

    Abstract. The kinetics of particulate orGanic carbon (POC) mineralization in marine surface sediments is not well constrained. This creates considerable uncertainties when benthic processes are considered in Global bioGeochemical or Earth system circulation Models to simulate climate–ocean interactions and bioGeochemical tracer distributions in the ocean. In an attempt to improve our understandinG of the rate and depth distribution of orGanic carbon mineralization in bioturbated (0–20 cm) sediments at the Global scale, we parameterized a 1-D diaGenetic Model that simulates the mineralization of three discrete POC pools (a multi-G Model). The rate constants of the three reactive classes (hiGhly reactive, reactive, refractory) are fixed and determined to be 70, 0.5 and ∼ 0.001 yr−1, respectively, based on the Martin curve Model for pelaGic POC deGradation. In contrast to previous approaches, however, the reactivity of the orGanic material deGraded in the seafloor is continuous with, and set by, the apparent reactivity of material sinkinG throuGh the water column. Despite the simplifications of describinG POC remineralization usinG G-type approaches, the Model is able to simulate a Global database (185 stations) of benthic oxyGen and nitrate fluxes across the sediment–water interface in addition to porewater oxyGen and nitrate distributions and orGanic carbon burial efficiencies. It is further consistent with deGradation experiments usinG fresh phytoplankton reported in a previous study. We propose that an important yet mostly overlooked consideration in upscalinG approaches is the proportion of the reactive POC classes reachinG the seafloor in addition to their reactivity. The approach presented is applicable to both steady-state and non-steady state scenarios, and links POC deGradation kinetics in sedimentary environments to water depth and the POC rain rate to the seafloor.

    Abstract. The kinetics of particulate orGanic carbon (POC) mineralization in marine surface sediments is not well constrained. This creates considerable uncertainties when benthic processes are considered in Global bioGeochemical or Earth system circulation Models to simulate climate-ocean interactions and bioGeochemical tracers in the ocean. In an attempt to improve our understandinG of the rate and depth distribution of orGanic carbon mineralization in bioturbated (0–10 cm) sediments, we parameterized a 1-D diaGenetic Model that simulates the reactivity of three discrete POC pools at Global scale (a multi-G Model). The rate constants of the three reactive classes (hiGhly reactive, reactive, refractory) are fixed and determined to be 70 yr−1, 0.5 yr−1, and ~0.001 yr−1, respectively, based on the Martin curve Model for pelaGic POC deGradation. In contrast to previous approaches, the reactivity of the orGanic material deGraded in the seafloor is continuous with, and set by, the apparent reactivity of material sinkinG throuGh the water column.

It is further consistent with deGradation experiments of fresh phytoplankton. We propose that an important yet mostly overlooked consideration in previous upscalinG approaches is the proportion of the relative reactive POC classes reachinG the seafloor in addition to their reactivity. The approach presented is applicable to both steady-state and non-steady state scenarios, and links POC deGradation kinetics in sedimentary environments to water depth and the POC rain rate to the seafloor.
