Phytoplankton Productivity

Beschreibung

This landmark publication takes the 50th anniversary of thepublication of the seminal paper by the Danish scientist, EinerSteemann Nielsen, as an occasion to assess the development, presentstate and future of the major aspects in freshwater and marineplankton productivity. Each chapter of this important work has beenwritten by internationally-acknowledged experts in the subject, andthe whole has been carefully drawn together and edited to provide abook that is an essential tool and reference for all aquaticscientists. The book takes ascending temporal and spatial size scale as itsframework - covering molecular to geological scales. Chaptersinclude reviews of physiology and biochemistry, measurement ofphytoplankton productivity, the supply and uptake of nutrients,variability in processes and production, the evolution of thecarbon cycle, and ecosystems. The subject is set in context with achapter covering the work of Steemann Nielsen, whose work inspiredthe last 50 years of aquatic productivity studies. Historicalaspects are discussed together with thought-provoking assessmentsof modern technological approaches and where future researchemphasis should be focussed. Phytoplankton Productivity provides, in one book, cuttingedge reviews and key facts on the subject, making it a vitalinformation source for marine and freshwater biologists,oceanographers, ecologists, environmental scientists and plantscientists. Copies should also be available in libraries of anyresearch establishment and university as a reference for students,wherever these subjects are studied and taught.
