Penetration of light into aquatic ecosystems is greatly affected by the absorption and
scattering processes that take place within the water. Thus within any water body, the …

The within-day, between-day and month-to-month variability of light attenuation and
microalgal chlorophyll a (chl a) and photosynthetic response was measured in San Antonio …

Gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence techniques were used to evaluate the
hypothesis that leaf movement in Vitis californica Benth.(California wild grape) allows a …

Phytoplankton community composition, productivity and biomass characteristics of the
mesohaline lower Neuse River estuary were assessed monthly from May 1988 to February …

As global surface temperatures continue to rise as a result of anthropogenic climate change,
effects in temperate lakes are likely to be more pronounced than in other ecosystems …

Primary productivity in estuaries is profoundly affected by water‐column mixing which can
be attributed to currents, tides, and wind. Mixing in shallow systems has the dual effect of …

The maximum effective quantum yield of photosystem II was estimated from measurements
of variable chlorophyll a fluorescence [(F′ m− F′ o)/F′ m= F′ v/F′ m] in samples of …

We studied the importance of environmental drivers for the seasonal dynamics of gross
primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (R), and net ecosystem production in …

Vertical distribution of a phototrophic ciliate (Mesodinium rubrum), autotrophic
dinoflagellates (Peridiniella catenata, Heterocapsa rotundata, Dinophysis acuminata), a …

Results from two regional surveys and multi-lake seasonal studies were used to investigate
the variability of phytoplankton photosynthesis and planktonic community respiration in …
