Seagrass beds host a great vegetal and animal diversity and have been considered to be highly productive. However, carbon fluxes of these communities are overlooked, in particular, in the intertidal seagrass communities which are subjected to strong environmental constraints. The aim of this study is to investigate the functionning of intertidal seagrass beds to understand their role in carbon cycle in the coastal zone. Metabolism and food web structure variations have been studied in two seagrass beds, a Zostera marina bed located in the upper zone of infralittoral and the lower zone of midlittoral and a Zostera noltii bed located only in the midlittoral zone. An increase of community carbon fluxes from emersion to immersion has been highlighted for the two seagrass beds. An asynchroneous development of Zostera noltii and associated epiphytes has been observed and could maintain a relative stable primary production throughout of the year. Two main primary producers have been identified in Zostera marina beds ( Zostera marina and ephemeral macroalgae). Their development enhanced the community metabolism during the spring and the summer. An annual carbon budget which take into account spatial and temporal variability of primary producer biomass and metabolism was proposed. Finally, this study underlined the major role of the detritic pathway in the matter flow within th food web of intertidal Zostera marina and Zostera noltii beds.; Les communautés de phanérogames marines, communément appelées herbiers abritent une diversité végétale et animale importante et sont considérés comme très productifs. Cependant les flux de carbone au sein de ces communautés sont encore mal connus, en particulier pour les herbiers intertidaux qui subissent de fortes contraintes environnementales. L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier le fonctionnement d’herbiers intertidaux afin d’appréhender leur rôle dans le cycle du carbone en milieu côtier. Les variations du métabolisme et de la structure du réseau trophique de la communauté benthique ont été étudiées sur deux herbiers, l’un dominé par Zostera marina situé entre le haut de la zone infralittorale et le bas de la zone médiolittorale et l’autre par Zostera noltii situé uniquement dans la zone médiolittorale. Une augmentation des flux de carbone à l’immersion par rapport à l’émersion a été mis en évidence sur les deux herbiers. Un développement asynchrone de Zostera noltii et de ses épiphytes a été observé. Celui-ci pemettrait de maintenir une production primaire quasi constante au cours de l’année pendant l’émersion. Deux producteurs primaires dominants ont été identifiés dans l’herbier à Zostera marina (Zostera marina et des algues éphémères). Leur développement synchrone entraine une augmentation importante des flux de carbone pendant le printemps et l’été. Un bilan annuel de carbone spatialisé de chaque herbier est proposé, il intégre les variations temporelles de la biomasse des producteurs primaires et du métabolisme de la communauté. Cette étude souligne le rôle majeur de la voie détritique dans le transfert de la matière au sein du réseau trophique des herbiers.

Abstract: Intertidal soft-sediments biomass and metabolism are naturally heterogeneous in time and space at different scales. Particular perturbations such as freshwater seepages and seasonal proliferation of ephemeral macroalgae can intermittently and/or locally create additional variability in these systems. Since the impacts of such environmental stresses on natural processes are not well understood, the hypothesis that they would affect the functioning of the benthic system was tested. An intertidal bay whose structure and functioning has been previously described and where a carbon budget has been calculated, was chosen. The results showed that the metabolism of the intertidal sediments was greatly impacted by the above perturbations. Freshwater seepage increased meiofauna and microalgae biomasses and enhanced the total benthic metabolism (increasing community respiration and gross primary production until 4 and 2 fold respectively) without altering its seasonal trend. Ephemeral macroalgae proliferation had a more important effect on the total benthic metabolism, increasing community respiration and gross primary production 8 and 12 fold respectively and leading to a change in the seasonal trend.

This study aimed to explore the spatial and temporal variability of benthic metabolism in a temperate mesotidal lagoon. This was achieved by measuring fluxes of CO 2 in static chambers during emersion, both under light and dark conditions. Three sample sites were selected according to their tidal level (upper or mid), their sediment type (sand or mud) and the presence/absence of the seagrass Zostera noltei . The three sites were investigated at three seasons (end of winter, spring and beginning of autumn). At each site and each season, three benthic chambers were used simultaneously in successive incubations over the emersion period. The sediment chlorophyll- a content varied seasonally in the upper sands (reaching 283 mg.m − 2 in spring) but not in the mid muds (averaging 142 mg m − 2 in bare muds and 186 mg m − 2 in muds covered by seagrass). The maximum sediment CO 2 -uptake under light was 9.89 mmol m − 2 h − 1 in the mid-bare muds, in early autumn. The maximum sediment CO 2 -release under darkness was 6.97 mmol m − 2 h − 1 in the mid muds covered by seagrass, in spring. Both CO 2 -fluxes measured in the light and in the dark increased over periods of emersion. This increase, not related to light nor temperature variations, could be explained by changes in the amount and chemistry of pore water during the air exposure of sediments. The benthic trophic state index, based on the maximum light CO 2 -flux versus maximum dark CO 2 -flux ratio, assigned to each site at each season indicated that the sediments were net autotrophic in spring in upper sands and in mid muds covered by seagrass and highly autotrophic in other cases. The most autotrophic sediments were the mid-level bare muds whatever the season. The relevance of this index is discussed compared to carbon annual budget. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
