| Title | Benthic algae compensate for phytoplankton losses in large aquatic ecosystems |
| Creator | Brothers, Soren Vadeboncoeur, Yvonne Sibley, Paul |
| Description | Anthropogenic activities can induce major trophic shifts in aquatic systems, yet we have an incomplete understanding of the implication of such shifts on ecosystem function and on primary production (PP) in particular. In recent decades, phytoplankton biomass and production in the Laurentian Great Lakes have declined in response to reduced nutrient concentrations and invasive mussels. However, the increases in water clarity associated with declines in phytoplankton may have positive effects... |
