Plankton Ecology of the Southwestern Atlantic From the Subtropical to the Subantarctic Realm

Plankton Ecology of the Southwestern Atlantic From the Subtropical to the Subantarctic Realm / edited by Mónica S. Hoffmeyer, Marina E. Sabatini, Frederico P. Brandini, Danilo L. Calliari, Norma H. Santinelli.

This book integrates a variety of issues such as regional settings of productivity and nutrient cycling; plankton of coastal and shelf systems; plankton, climate change and human-induced changes; harmful algae and their impacts; and gelatinous zooplankton. This book explores the intriguing marine pl...
