Abstract
Abstract From radiotracer experiments in model ecosystems (MERL tanks), it was established that the first order removal rate constants (λw’s) of various radiotracers in shallow coastal water columns are closely related to their distribution ratios between suspended particles and seawater (Kd), the particle flux through the system and to season. The seasonal change in the removal rate constants for the different radionuclides was mainly controlled by the benthic faunal activities, which was responsible for extent and changes of bioturbation and resuspension rates of bottom sediments.
