Community assemblages of diatoms, green algae and cyanobacteria comprise the
microphytobenthos (MPB), which inhabit benthic sediment ecosystems (Admiraal 1984; …

Ecologists sometimes have a less-than-rigorous background in quantitative methods, yet
research within this broad field is becoming increasingly mathematical. Written in a step-by …

We analyzed the contributions of clouds, turbidity, and tides to variations in irradiance and
predicted benthic primary productivity on a coastal coral reef over a period of 2 yr (2001 …

Diatom-dominated microphytobenthos (MPB) is the main primary producer of many intertidal
and shallow subtidal environments, being therefore of critical importance to estuarine and …

The effect of high (ambient) and low (shaded to 50% of ambient) light on microphytobenthic
biofilm primary production, vertical migration and allocation of photoassimilated carbon into …

Biomass, species composition and primary production of the microphytobenthos (MPB) were
investigated along environmental gradients in the Colne Estuary between August 1996 and …

The factors which may influence temporal and spatial variation in plant arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and propagule occurrence were evaluated in a Portuguese …

Chlorophyll a fluorescence has been increasingly applied to benthic microalgae, especially
diatoms, for measurements of electron transport rate (ETR) and construction of rapid light …

The dynamic behaviour of microphytobenthic biomass in a European intertidal mudflat has
been analysed by comparing field and laboratory measurements. In an experimental …

From April 1994 to December 1997, we studied the microphytobenthic assemblages in
surface (0 to 0.5 cm) and subsurface (0.5 to 2 cm) sediments at spring low tide along a …
