depleted of oxygen; anaerobic

oxygen deficient.

An environment devoid of measurable oxygen. Many sediments are anoxic below the sediment-water interface. Oxic implies some measurable or otherwise significant amounts of free oxygen.

A condition is which dissolved oxygen is absent. Anoxic water quality conditions often result in fish kills and shellfish mortality.

a condition existing or process conducted in the absence of oxygen, anaerobic.

A condition where no oxygen is present. Much of the "anoxic zone" is anaerobic, with absolutely no oxygen, a condition in which toxic hydrogen sulfide gas is emitted in the decomposition process.

With reference to the complete absence of molecular oxygen (O2).

Containing no oxygen.

Absence of oxygen. Usually used in reference to a microbial habitat.

The condition of oxygen deficiency or absence of oxygen. Anoxic sediments and anoxic bottom waters are commonly produced where there is a deficiency of oxygen due to very high organic productivity and a lack of oxygen replenishment to the water or sediment, as in the case of stagnation or stratification of the water body.

Deficient or lacking oxygen.

adj. Without oxygen.

without oxygen. A state of oxygen depletion in the water column that makes it difficult or impossible for aquatic species to obtain the desired amount of oxygen from the water column as needed.

Low oxygen.

Anoxic - Pertaining to an environment, such as a sea floor, lacking oxygen, thus unable to support life.

A biological environment that is deficient in molecular oxygen, but may contain chemically bound oxygen, such as nitrates and nitrites.

Depravation of oxygen.

lacking free oxygen.

greatly deficient in oxygen

Without oxygen. Anoxic water contains no measurable dissolved oxygen. Anoxic conditions often develop near the bottom of fertile lakes in summer and under ice in winter. [Gk. prefix , without + Fr. oxygene.

A condition in which oxygen is absent.

Water without dissolved oxygen.

without oxygen, anaerobic.

An absence of oxygen in water.

Of or relating to zero dissolved-oxygen conditions, unsupportive of aerobic life.

No oxygen present in the system; see anaerobic.

A severe deficiency of oxygen.

describes a condition in which a liquid has become devoid of oxygen and in which certain microorganisms can obtain oxygen from nitrate or nitrite ions

free of dissolved oxygen. Normally the influent from a home or plant is anoxic, allowing for denitrification.

Pertaining to a habitat devoid of molecular oxygen; anoxia.

Depleted of or deficient in oxygen
