## Detritus in the bottom (Bot_Det)
|
|
|
|
Detritus in the bottom (Bot_Det, mmol-N m<sup>-2</sup>) increases by the sinking of detritus and phytoplankton (SinkDet and SinkPhy, respectively). When the shellfish (Mus, Oys and Coc) die, the nitrogen also goes to the pool of Bot_Det (MortShellfish). Finally the faeces and pseudo faeces that is produced by the shellfish is also a source for the Bot_Det (PseudoFaeces). Nitrogen is released to the water column through mineralization of the Bot_Det (BotMin) where it becomes part of the DIN. A fraction of the nitrogen is lost as N<sub>2</sub> due to denitrification (not included in the graph).
