Global increases in ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR:290-
320 nm) resulting from decreases in stratospheric ozone
concentration have the potential to alter marine primary
production and affect global climate and marine trophic
dynamics. Effects of UVBR on phytoplankton carbon fixation
were determined from open ocean exposure studies conducted
off the coast of...
Studies on elemental and energy transfer in lower trophic levels in
the marine environment were initiated in July 1962 after receipt of AEC
contract AT(45-1)1751. It should be pointed out that this report covers
only a six-month period, because for bookkeeping purposes the contract
was made retroactive to 1 April...
This book is an environmental primer for the people of the Willamette Valley. It sets forth basic principles showing how men's actions cause future consequences in the environment.
An investigation has been made of several physical parameters of the effluent plume of the Columbia River as it enters the Pacific
Ocean. Radioactive material in trace amounts enters the Columbia River from the Hanford nuclear reactors at Richland, Washington. One of these nuclides, chromium -51, has been used to...
A chemostatic system was developed for the long term studies
of population dynamics of chain forming diatoms. Vessel volume
rather than flow rate was varied in these systems to obtain different
growth rates at steady state in systems with an equal capacity to
produce.
Population level responses to high dilution...
Large-volume (20-liter) bioassays were carried out in order to
assess the effects of major nutrients and micro-nutrients on
natural phytoplankton populations in water collected from a site
close to the mouth of Yaquina Bay, Oregon. Seven long-term
experiments were conducted during the years 1975-1976. A stripping
technique employing activated carbon...
