9217198 Hollibaugh The autoanalyzer will be used by multiple users in a variety of estuarine research projects, all of which require fine levels of precision and accuracy in nutrient analysis. Experiments determining how pools of nutrients change in response to different biogeochemical variables form the general basis of these projects. Primarily, research on NSF (OCE 89-14921) and USDA (91-37102-6859) projects will benefit from acquisition of the autoanalyzer, through the examination of nutrients in the water column, sediments, and primary producers of Tomales Bay, California. Additionally, the abilities of the autoanalyzer will be exploited by other users to measure nutrient status and flux in sections of San Francisco Bay, in tidal wetlands of coastal California, and along the reef tract of the Florida Keys. All of these projects address how nutrients are processed in aquatic environments, ultimately to understand the connections between human activities and the function of estuaries. The proposed autoanalyzer will contribute greatly to this goal and will be an integral aspect of ongoing research and education at Tiburon Center.

9217198霍利堡自动分析仪将被多个用户用于各种河口研究项目，所有这些项目在营养分析中都需要很高的精密度和准确度。确定营养库如何随着不同的生物地球化学变量而变化的实验构成了这些项目的一般基础。首先，美国国家科学基金会(OCE89-14921)和美国农业部(91-37102-6859)项目的研究将受益于自动分析仪的收购，通过检查加利福尼亚州托马莱斯湾水柱、沉积物和初级生产者中的营养物质。此外，自动分析仪的能力将被其他用户利用，以测量旧金山湾部分地区、加利福尼亚州沿海潮汐湿地和佛罗里达群岛珊瑚礁区域的营养状况和通量。所有这些项目都探讨了营养物质是如何在水环境中被处理的，最终是为了了解人类活动和河口功能之间的联系。拟议的自动分析仪将极大地促进这一目标，并将成为蒂伯伦中心正在进行的研究和教育的一个组成部分。
