Kenji Tsuchiya (National Institute for Environmental Studies・Tenure-track researcher)
I am interested in material cycles in aquatic ecosystems including rivers, lakes and ocean.
Research topics;
Effect of typhoon passages on coastal ecosystems,
Development of non-radio active methods for measuring bacterial production,
Carbon budget among the lower trophic levels in Lake Kasumigaura, Japan,
Bacterial production in Lake Biwa, Japan,
Importance of methane-derived carbon in lake food webs,
Bacterial production of biofilms in riverbeds in Chikuma River,
Methane dynamics in aquatic environments.
KEYWORDS:Bacterial production, Primary production, Typhoon, Methane, Dissolved organic carbon, Stable isotopes, Biofilm, DNA synthesis, Protein synthesis, Microbial community
