    Response of coastal phytoplankton to ammonium and nitrate pulses: seasonal variations of nitrogen uptake and regeneration

    Seasonal variation in uptake and regeneration of ammonium and nitrate in a coastal lagoon was studied using 15N incorporation in particulate matter and by measuring changes in particulate nitrogen. Uptake and reg...

    An optical method for the rapid measurement of micromolar concentrations of nitrate in marine phytoplankton cultures

    This method of nitrate determination by ultraviolet absorption spectrometry is based on the measurement of sample absorbance at a single wavelength (220 nm), which was chosen on the basis of the absorption spe...

    Carbon and nitrogen dynamics during growth and degradation of phytoplankton under natural surface irradiance

    Under conditions of natural irradiance, the development and decline of a flagellate-dominated phytoplankton population was followed in a coastal North Atlantic pond over a 3 d period in summer 1986. Irradiance...

    Nocturnal synthesis and diurnal degradation of phytoplankton biomass in surface waters

    Natural populations of phytoplankton were collected near the Bay of Bourgneuf, France, in spring 1982, and were subjected to natural surface irradiance outdoors. They exhibited exponential growth on time scale...

    Hydrobiological parameters during an annual cycle in the Arcachon Basin

    Temperature, salinity, nutrients and phytoplankton biomass were monitored on a weekly to bimonthly frequency at six stations in the Bay of Arcachon from July 1984 to July 1985. This particular period appears t...

    Studies on Marine Autotrophs: Recommendations for the 1980s

    There was agreement among members of the working group that, in the next 5–10 years, the process-oriented focus of field studies should be maintained. This orientation is viewed as a third phase in the histori...
