Spatial Variability of Phytoplankton and Environmental Drivers in the Turbid Sanmen Bay (East China Sea)
Sanmen Bay (SMB) is a typical semi-enclosed turbid bay in the East China Sea. Environmental factors in the bay (e.g., salinity, transparency, and nutrients) vary spatially, and this variation may lead to spati...
