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 .
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…
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…
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…

An acclaimed photographic guide to these marvelous and enigmatic birds--now in a new, updated editionPenguins are perhaps the most beloved birds. On land, their behavior appears so humorous and expressive that we can be excused for attributing to them moods and foibles similar t…
Phytoplankton growth is iron limited in at least 20% of the world’s oceans. Iron is an important nutrient required to synthesise enzymes necessary for photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen assimilation. Due to its low solubility in seawater, iron limitation of phytoplankton …
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…
This study investigated the natural phytoplankton assemblage of Ambon Bay, eastern Indonesia, over a two-year period, including the composition of the dominant microplankton and the influence of environmental factors with emphasis on the role of mangrove in Ambon Bay. A hoped-fo…
