An impounded estuary was employed to study primary productivity, community respiration, and community structure as they
related to seasonal and temporal succession, salinity, and water
temperature. Plankton metabolism was studied by means of the
light-and dark-bottle technique. Benthic community metabolism
was determined by using the "diurnal oxygen curve" method.

This thesis reports a portion of a general ecological study of
a stream under conditions of controlled flow and low levels of organic
enrichment. It is concerned with the effects of experimental variations
of light intensity and concentration of soluble organic enrichment
imposed on seasonal variations of temperature and total...
