Recolonization of sediment-associated microalgae and effects of estuarine infauna on microalgal production

Creator:

Davis, Michael W. and Lee II, Henry

Abstract:

Experiments were performed to determine the rate of recolonization of sediment-associated microalga and effects of infauna on microalgal biomass and production. Estuarine sediment was defaunated and transplanted to the field and the laboratory. Recolonization of sediment by flora and fauna, relative to control sediment, was measured by chlorophyll a, gross...

Effects of physical gradients on the production dynamics of sediment-associated algae

Creator:

Davis, Michael W. and McIntire, C. David

Abstract:

Sediment-associated microalgal biomass expressed as chlorophyll a concentration, total organic matter concentration expressed as ash-free dry weight, and hourly rates of net community primary production and community oxygen consumption were measured at monthly intervales at medium sand, fine sand, and silt sites between 0.5 and 2.0 m above MLLW during...
