Innovation / Discovery: A first measurement of concentration of some chemical elements (C, N, P, Si, and Al) in the pellets of mollusks. A first measurement of the biogeochemical fluxes of those elements with the pellets.
A discovery of a new type of geochemical fluxes of chemical elements in the biosphere: the vertical (downward) flux of elements toward the bottom of freshwater ecosystems, via pellets of bivalves (freshwater mussels, Uniosp. and other species); Открыт новый механизм того, как организмы (водные моллюски) влияют на химию окружающей среды и на факторы, от которых зависит климат;
Why it is useful: The author in the paper discovered new very vital mechanisms of fluxes of chemical elements in the aquatic and global environments. It is a discovery of a new mechanism of how biota influence the chemistry of environment, and finally the climate system.
Those mechanisms are a key to better modeling, and prognostication of climate-forming factors (e.g. global carbon cycling). This is a necessary step toward measures to stop, prevent or mitigate global changes and global warming.
Application:
To improve modeling of global environment and climate;
to ensure sustainability, gain better understanding of carbon cycling and finally prevent global warming;
Which questions were answered :
The following questions were answered in the paper, or a new contribution was made to answering the questions:
What is the role of freshwater mollusks in biogeochemistry and geochemistry?
Do freshwater mollusks contribute significantly to geochemistry (content of organic matter) of the bottom sediments?
What is the quantitative estimate of concentrations of the chemical elements (C, N, P, Si, and Al) in the pellets produced by aquatic mollusks?
What are the quantitative estimates of the fluxes of those chemical elements driven by aquatic mollusks and mediated by their pellets, per unit of the area of the surface of bottom of the aquatic ecosystem?
