Bicarbonate and CO2 uptake
Hi..
http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/PP9790499.htm Hmm.., so bicarbonate might locally be willing to allow the plants a CO2 credit they would have to repay in CO2 (later)..? ;-) -- cu Marco |

Bicarbonate and CO2 uptake
Hi..
I took it to mean "plants will take carbon out of carbonate" which anybody whose read the 30 year old Dupla book knows. Hmm.., is "your" carbon == the element carbon or is it == CO2..? -- cu Marco |

I took it to mean "plants will take carbon out of carbonate" which anybody whose read the 30 year old Dupla book knows. They just quantified it. I got that far, and like you, I've known about biogenic decalcificaton for a long time. pH crashed quite a few tanks with it. LOL! That's what got me to try CO2 the first time. I got tired of spiking the planted tanks with baking soda to put the carbonates and buffering back. What I couldn't figure out was whether the plant prefers carbonate to CO2. I wasn't sure how to interpret "The total resistance to bicarbonate uptake appears to be 8-12 times that for CO2 uptake presumably due to the processes of active uptake, transport and/or conversion to CO2 involved in bicarbonate but not CO2 assimilation" -- My other fish and pond forum is: http://groups.google.com/group/The-Freshwater-Aquarium Did you read the FAQ? http://faq.thekrib.com |

Nurse, scalpal... The total resistance to bicarbonate uptake appears to be 8-12 times that for CO2 uptake presumably due to Ok who cares about presumably or why they think it acxts like it does, how does it act: The total resistance to bicarbonate uptake appears to be 8-12 times that for CO2 I take this to mean plants can uptake CO2 8-12 times more easily than bicarb. But who cares, bicarb works? Cool, one more thing to play with. ~ -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |
