Long-term trends in the distribution of phytoplankton in Chesapeake Bay: roles of light, nutrients and streamflow

This paper synthesizes >40 yr of data on phytoplankton abundance in the Chesapeake Bay, USA, spanning the period 1950 to 1990. Long-term changes in the concentrations of surface chlorophyll (B, mg m-3) and integrated water-column chlorophyll (B',,, mg m-2) are assessed in the context of light and nu... View More
