Journal ArticleDOI
Microphytobenthos: The ecological role of the “secret garden” of unvegetated, shallow-water marine habitats. I. Distribution, abundance and primary production
TL;DR: On both the basis of biomass and biogeochemical reactivity, benthic microalgae play significant roles in system productivity and trophic dynamics, as well as such habitat characteristics as sediment stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoacclimation of photosynthesis irradiance response curves and photosynthetic pigments in microalgae and cyanobacteria1
TL;DR: The photosynthesis‐irradiance response (PE) curve, in which mass‐specific photosynthesis rates are plotted versus irradiance, is commonly used to characterize photoacclimation and it is clear that maximizing the rate of photosynthetic carbon assimilation is not the only criterion governing photoac Climation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic model of phytoplankton growth and acclimation: responses of the balanced growth rate and the chlorophyll a:carbon ratio to light, nutrient-limitation and temperature
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic regulatory model was proposed to predict the dependencies of 8 and growth rate on irradiance, daylength, temperature and nutrient availability of the chlorophyll a:carbon ratio (g).
Marine Habitats. II. Role in Sediment Stability and Shallow-Water Food Webs
TL;DR: It is argued for reductionist studies of particular interactions as distinct entities as a prerequisite for the emergence of a comprehensive picture of unvegetated ecosystems and the ability to predict their responses to man’s activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamic model of photoadaptation in phytoplankton
TL;DR: A new dynamic model that uses a small number of prescribed parameters to predict the chlorophyll a:carbon ratio and growth rate of phytoplankton in both constant and varying irradiance is presented.
