Creator:: Menge, Bruce A., Daley, Bryon A., Wheeler, Patricia A., Dahlhoff, Elizabeth, Sanford, Eric, and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: Insight into the dependence of benthic communities on biological and physical processes in nearshore pelagic environments, long considered a ``black box,'' has eluded ecologists. In rocky intertidal communities at Oregon coastal sites 80 km apart, differences in abundance of sessile invertebrates, herbivores, carnivores, and macrophytes in the low zone were...

Abstract:: Observed changes in the nutrient levels in the halocline of the California Current during 2002 indicated a natural eutrophication that was accompanied by increased chlorophyll and oxygen in surface water. Decreased oxygen in the lower water column over the shelf indicated that much of the phytoplankton production was respired rather...

Creator:: Wetz, Michael S. and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five coastal diatom species. For Chaetoceros decipiens, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) accumulated beginning in late exponential growth as a result of increased cell density. For Cylindrotheca closterium, DOC actually decreased in late exponential growth and reached zero by...

Creator:: Wetz, Michael S., Hales, Burke, Chase, Zanna, Wheeler, Patricia A., and Whitney, Michael M.
Abstract:: Three cross‐shelf transects were conducted off northern Oregon in February, 2003, coincident with flooding of Coast Range rivers, to assess the riverine impact on coastal ocean biogeochemistry. During downwelling conditions, low salinity river‐influenced water was located in a narrow band near the coast and contained elevated macronutrient, iron, and organic...
