Critical shear stress ranged between 0.022 and View the MathML source. At the deepest site, annual erosion of particulate organic nitrogen and phosphorus could exceed net deposition fluxes, showing the importance of erosion processes. Erosion may modify total system mineralisation rates by introducing sedimentary particulate organic matter into the water column and thus this process must be taken into account in studies of biogeochemical cycles %G English %L hal-00745132 %U https://hal.science/hal-00745132 %~ SDE %~ INSU %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ GIP-BE %~ LOPB
