Determination of Nutrient Hot Spots on Coral Reefs Using a Common Macroalgae
24 Oct 2018Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals. Coral reefs are built by colonies of tiny animals found in marine water that contain few nutrients. This research focuses on nutrient dynamics on coral reefs. The Burkepile lab in collaboration with the Moorea Coral Reef Long Term Ecological Research Lab collected a common macroalgae, Turbinaria ornata, at 190 points around the island of Moorea, French Polynesia. Nutrient hot spots were evaluated by analyzing the tissue content of dried Turbinaria for carbon and nitrogen as well as stable isotopes.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.AlgaeEnvironmental AnalysisEnvironmental analysis describes a variety of tests that determine the effect of chemicals, processes and particulates such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have on the environment.
