Phytoplankton Blooms in Macro - Tidal Estuaries. Processes and conditions influencing phytoplankton growth and bloom initiation. Case Study: Southampton Water. 2009. XII, 238 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
The aim of this book is to investigate the coupling between variationsin phytoplankton community and bloom development (bloom timing, bloomonset and bloom duration) in macrotidal estuaries and changes inenvironmental conditions with Southampton Water (SW) as the casestudy. SW is part of a complex and highly populated, highly dynamic,hyper - nutrified estuary that support large phytoplankton populations.The book gives an insight into the use of continuous monitoring andHPLC technique to determine factors controlling phytoplankton community structure.
