Phytoplankton Dynamics in the North American Great Lakes is the compilation of two volumes, originally published 1996 and 2000. Both volumes provide a thorough treatment of the community structure, function, and dynamics of phytoplankton in the North American Great Lakes and rep…
This book constitutes a comprehensive explanation of photosynthetic processes as related to the special environment in which marine plants live. The first part of the book introduces the different photosynthesising organisms of the various marine habitats: the phytoplankton (bo…
Pigments act as tracers to elucidate the fate of phytoplankton in the world's oceans and are often associated with important biogeochemical cycles related to carbon dynamics in the oceans. They are increasingly used in in situ and remote-sensing applications, detecting algal bio…
Metabolic Ecology: a Scaling Approach
First textbook in this new, important and emerging field in ecology Explains the new metabolic theory of ecology, puts it into context, and shows how it can be used to answer contemporary problems Defines a new field in ecological science .
Within the context of global carbon cycles, knowledge of phytoplankton community structure is essential for understanding and predicting the transport of carbon from surface waters to the deep ocean. From a combination of flow cytometric analyses and image-enhanced microscopy, t…
Increases in near-surface algal concentrations in the northern Arabian Sea from 1997 to 2004 have been linked to the appearance of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Noctiluca miliaris (also known as Noctiluca sscintillans ). This emerging presence of N. miliaris is ultimately expec…
Atmospheric transport, in the troposphere, is responsible for large fluxes of mineral material from the continents to the ocean. The importance of aeolian dust transport from the continents to the oceans has been debated over recent years. Part of the debate concerns whether the…
To understand the seasonal variation in phytoplankton size classes and the relative importance of microplankton, nannoplankton and picoplankton to total phytoplankton productivity, 14C photosynthetic rates and chl a of size-fractionated samples were investigated throughout the y…
