About: Euxinia

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Euxinia or euxinic conditions occur when water is both anoxic and sulfidic. This means that there is no oxygen (O2) and a raised level of free hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Euxinic bodies of water are frequently strongly stratified, have an oxic, highly productive, thin surface layer, and have anoxic, sulfidic bottom water. The word euxinia is derived from the Greek name for the Black Sea (Εὔξεινος Πόντος (Euxeinos Pontos)) which translates to "hospitable sea". Euxinic deep water is a key component of the Canfield ocean, a model of oceans during the Proterozoic period (known as the Boring Billion) proposed by Donald Canfield, an American geologist, in 1998. There is still debate within the scientific community on both the duration and frequency of euxinic conditions in the ancient oceans. Euxini

dbo:abstract
  • Als euxinisch bezeichnet man ein natürliches Milieu, das anoxisch, also sauerstofffrei oder sauerstoffarm ist, und Schwefelwasserstoff (H2S) enthält. Solche Milieus kommen vor allem in Gewässern und ihren Sedimenten vor. Der Schwefelwasserstoff kann durch vulkanische Ausgasungen aus dem Erdinneren in das Gewässer gelangen, häufiger jedoch entsteht er im Gewässer durch bakterielle Reduktion von Sulfat (SO42−) (Desulfurikation, sulfatreduzierende Bakterien). In der Geologie werden Sedimente, die in einem euxinischen, also sauerstoffarmen oder sauerstofffreien (anoxischen), schwefelwasserstoffhaltigem Milieu abgelagert wurden, als euxinisch bezeichnet. Diese Sedimente sind durch Fällung von Eisensulfiden (FeS bis FeS2) und durch Inkohlung organischer Stoffe schwarz. Durch Diagenese können solche Sedimente zu Sedimentgesteinen verfestigt werden und werden dann unter anderem als Schwarzschiefer bezeichnet. Das Wort euxinisch stammt vom lateinischen Namen des Schwarzen Meeres, Pontus Euxinus. Dort lagert sich in der Tiefe ein euxinisches Sediment, ein Faulschlamm (Sapropel) ab. (de)

Euxinia is relatively rare in modern bodies of water, but does still happen in places like the Black Sea and certain fjords. (en)
  • Si definisce euxinico (dal greco "ξινός", che significa "aspro") un ambiente inizialmente ricco di vita nel quale si verifica un evento anossico. Con l'aumentare degli organismi viventi, l'ossigeno può diventare insufficiente fino alla completa scomparsa di ogni forma di vita. Si ha come risultato un ambiente povero di ossigeno con depositi di resti di organismi viventi. (it)
