Chlorophylla of size-fractionated phytoplankton at a temporary hypersaline lake
Tóm tắt
The size-fractionated distribution of chlorophylla was studied in a temporary hypersaline lake situated in the south of Spain during an annual hydrological cycle characterized by low levels of rainfall. The contribution of each size class to the total chlorophylla concentration indicates that ultraplankton (size class <5μm) was the most important fraction of phytoplankton biomass during this year.
