Tagus intertidal microphytobenthos (MPB) assemblages were characterized over a wide range of sediment type and tidal height and the possible effects of these variables on MPB …
Physiological and behavioral photoprotection are the two major mechanisms by which natural microphytobenthic assemblages protect themselves against high light. These …
Abstract Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data were used to investigate vegetation changes after Hurricane Katrina (2005) for the Weeks Bay Reserve and …
Intertidal soft sediment microphytobenthic biofilms are often dominated by diatoms, which are able to regulate their photosynthesis by physiological processes (eg down-regulation …
The effectiveness of two HPLC methods (a monomeric C18 column with a high ion strength solvent gradient and a monomeric C8 column with a pyridine‐containing mobile phase) in …
Microphytobenthos (MPB) provides important ecosystem functions and services, contributing significantly to the total primary production in shallow coastal ecosystems. However …
The structure of intertidal benthic diatoms assemblages in the Tagus estuary was investigated during a 2‐year survey, carried out in six stations with different sediment …
The rate of attenuation of sun rays in water is much faster than in the atmosphere. This rate of attenuation also varies in different water bodies due to n number of factors. Therefore …
The gross primary production (GPP) of intertidal mudflat microphytobenthos supports important ecosystem services such as shoreline stabilization and food production, and it …
