By David N. Thomas
This landmark booklet takes the fiftieth anniversary of the book of the seminal paper through the Danish scientist, Einer Steemann Nielsen, as an get together to evaluate the improvement, current kingdom and way forward for the most important points in freshwater and marine plankton productiveness. every one bankruptcy of this significant paintings has been written by means of internationally-acknowledged specialists within the topic, and the entire has been conscientiously drawn jointly and edited to supply a booklet that's a vital instrument and reference for all aquatic scientists.
The publication takes ascending temporal and spatial dimension scale as its framework - protecting molecular to geological scales. Chapters contain experiences of body structure and biochemistry, dimension of phytoplankton productiveness, the provision and uptake of foodstuff, variability in tactics and creation, the evolution of the carbon cycle, and ecosystems. the topic is determined in context with a bankruptcy protecting the paintings of Steemann Nielsen, whose paintings encouraged the final 50 years of aquatic productiveness reviews. historic facets are mentioned including thought-provoking checks of recent technological techniques and the place destiny learn emphasis can be focussed.
Phytoplankton Productivity presents, in a single publication, leading edge experiences and key proof at the topic, making it an essential details resource for marine and freshwater biologists, oceanographers, ecologists, environmental scientists and plant scientists. Copies must also be on hand in libraries of any examine institution and college as a reference for college kids, anyplace those topics are studied and taught.
