Edge effect: a catalyst of spatial heterogeneity in natural biofilms

N Kanavillil, D Balika, S Kurissery - Hydrobiologia, 2015 - Springer
This manuscript tests the hypothesis that the 'edge effect'during microalgal colonization on
small substrata results in spatial heterogeneity and that the edge effect does not disappear …
