Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Within the context of this EEC project we are studying the relative importance of mangrove litter as energy source to secondary and tertiary producers. This subject is not well assessed presently, especially in East Africa. Our objectives are to investigate on the nutritive value of mangrove litter and its decomposition as potential source of nutrients in the ecosystem. The project focusses on the mangrove of Gazi Creek, situated 50 km south of Mombasa. Our first step to study the input of nutrients by litter decomposition was to analyze the C and N composition of leaves of the same physiological age of the main species of the mangrove leaves in situ and in the laboratory and its nitrogen enrichment by biological nitrogen fixation.
