At most sites the range was from a notional
undersaturation to around the notional equilibrium value (Fig.
in the tropics during times of high river discharge, the oxidation of fine organic material in an estuary's floodwaters commonly leads to oxygen
undersaturation (Eyre and Balls 1999).
Mixing of groundwaters may lead to pronounced
undersaturation or supersaturation with respect to carbonate minerals, depending on temperature, pressure, and fluid composition, particularly pC[O.
Careful spotting of the blood sample on filter paper avoids inaccurate analysis results caused by
undersaturation, oversaturation, and abraded specimens.

undersaturation were approximately of the same magnitude [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 4A OMITTED].
The undersaturated DO concentrations at the Oligohaline site indicate that respiration outweighs production (as was found by Durand and Nadeau, 1972), although it is possible that groundwater of low DO contributed to this
undersaturation.
Actual and anticipated petrographic effects of carbonate
undersaturation in shallow seawater.
African fig wasp communities:
undersaturation and latitudinal gradients in species richness.
and outflow) have in conditioning the water column (Carmack and Wassmann 2006) throughout the year can be critical in determining the intensity of carbonate mineral
undersaturation events on seasonal timescales.
2007), and this region is projected to experience severe
undersaturation as early as 2050 (Gruber et al.
calcite] is plotted on a log scale where zero indicates thermodynamic equilibrium with respect to CaCO3, a positive index indicates supersaturation, and a negative index indicates
undersaturation.
Calcium concentration is very low, which is the result of ion exchange and precipitation of calcium carbonate causing later
undersaturation of these waters with respect to carbonate minerals.
