Virus production in oxic surface sediments and virioplankton sorption to suspended particles was estimated across three stations in the Southern California region (33.4degreesN, 118.6degreesW). Viriobenthos production was estimated using a sterile sediment and filtered porewater dilution technique that targeted production from both attached bacteria and bacteria living free in the porewater, and attached bacteria alone. Potential virus production rates by bacteria free in the porewater ranged from 1.7 to 4.6 x 10(8) VLP cm(-3) h(-1), while attached bacteria had slower potential production rates of between 0.4 and 1.1 x 10(8) VLP cm(-3) h(-1), suggesting turnover rates of viruses in sediments (1-5 h) which are significantly higher than those of virioplankton (similar to24-48 h). Virioplankton adsorbed to small (
