The following list of citations describe the use of benthic chambers in a variety of environments around the world, to model benthic fluxes and analyze, monitor and investigate a wide range of chemicals in sediments, and fresh and marine waters.
Study of the N, P and Si fluxes between fish farm sediment and seawater. Results of simulation experiments employing a benthic chamber under various redox conditions.Christos Belias, Manos Dassenakis and Michael Scoullos. Marine Chemistry, Vo. 103, Issues 3-4, 16 January 2007, Pages 266-275.
This study focuses on the effect of pellet food and metabolic products from fish on the sediment layer in marine cage fish farming in the Mediterranean Sea.
The use of in situ benthic chambers to study the fate of oil in sublittoral
sediments
J. M. Davies and
P. J. C. Tibbetts.
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. Vol. 24, Issue 2. February
1987, Pages 205-22.
This was a long-term study (over 440 days) of the fate of crude oil and its chemical fractions on marine sediments affected by oil spills.
Effects of suspended mussel culture on benthic–pelagic coupling in a
coastal upwelling system (Ría de Vigo, NW Iberian Peninsula)F.
Alonso-Pérez, T. Ysebaert and C.G. Castro.
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, Vol. 382, Issue 2, 1 January 2010, Pages 96-107.
This study measured inorganic carbon, dissolved oxygen and dissolved nutrients in the sediment and water column to analyze the effect of mussel culture in the NW Iberian Peninsula, and found significantly high levels of POC, ammonium, silicate and DO below the mussel rafts, compared to the channel reference sites.
Annual budget of benthic production in Mont Saint-Michel Bay
considering cloudiness, microphytobenthos migration, and variability of
respiration rates with tidal conditionsM. Rauch and D. Davoult.
Continental Shelf Research, Vol. 29, Issue 19, 30 October 2009, Pages 2280-2285.
This study measured primary production and respiration rates in coastal waters, as a means of estimating net benthic production.
Benthic photosynthesis in submerged Wadden Sea intertidal flats
Markus
Billerbeck, Hans Røy, Katja
Bosselmann and Markus Huettel.
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. Vol. 71, Issues 3-4. February 2007, Pages 704-716
Differences in photosynthesis between inundated coarse sands, fine sands and mixed sediments are the focus of this work. Oxygen-, nutrient- and DIC-fluxes were made using benthic chambers in the German Wadden Sea.
Effects of sedimentation from water-based drill cuttings and natural
sediment on benthic macrofaunal community structure and ecosystem
processes

C. Trannum, Hans C. Nilsson, Morten T. Schaanning and Sigurd Øxnevad. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology. Vo. 383, Issue 2, 15 February 2010, Pages 111-121.
The effect of drill cuttings made with water-based muds on the benthic ecosystem over a period of 6 months is studied in this work.
Benthic fluxes in a tidal salt marsh creek affected by fish farm activities: Río San Pedro (Bay of Cádiz, SW Spain)
S.
Ferrón, T. Ortega and J.M. Forja. Marine Chemistry. Vol. 113, Issues 1-2, 30 January 2009, Pages 50-62.
The influence of aquaculture activities in a creek in SW Spain is studied by analyzing dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, oxygen, nutrients, nitrous oxide and methane at different sites.
