Spatial and diel variability in the emissions of some biogenic sulfur compounds from a Florida Spartinaalterniflora coastal zone
Abstract
Emission rates of the biogenic reduced sulfur gases dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, carbon disulfide and hydrogen sulfide were measured from several environments within a Florida Spartina alterniflora coastal zone. Spatial and diel variability was observed in the emission rates of all the sulfur gases. The speciation and magnitude of sulfur emissions can be related to site elevation and the spatial variability of vegetation coverage. Dimethyl sulfide appears to be a metabolic byproduct of S. alterniflora. © 1987.
