Abstract
The sediment-water interface is the boundary layer between the water column and sediments. It is involved in virtually all processes and cycles within aquatic and estuarine ecosystems. Interactions and reactions at the sediment-water interface are of particular importance in regulating processes involving nutrient regeneration-remineralization (Boynton and Kemp 1985), fate of toxicants (Olsen, Cutshall and Larsen 1982), development of hypoxia-anoxia (Garber 1987), sediment mixing (Schaffner et al. 1987a, b), and sediment transport (Wright et al. 1987). Much effort has and is being expended to provide details of these processes which will eventually be used in management plans for water quality, sediment quality, and fisheries resources.
