Abstract
Particulate carbon and nitrogen exports from a north Queensland mangrove system are estimated. Mangrove litter, flushed by tidal action at a rate of 10 kg C ha −1 day −1 , represents the major component of organic matter export. The net exchange of tidal-borne micro-particulate matter is difficult to estimate precisely. However, the net export rate attributable to this component is approximately 1·5 kg C ha −1 day −1 The nature of the microparticulate matter is described with particular reference to the variation of total organic carbon, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and chlorophyll during a tidal cycle.
