The book takes ascending temporal and spatial size scale as its
framework - covering molecular to geological scales. Chapters
include reviews of physiology and biochemistry, measurement of
phytoplankton productivity, the supply and uptake of nutrients,
variability in processes and production, the evolution of the
carbon cycle, and ecosystems. The subject is set in context with a
chapter covering the work of Steemann Nielsen, whose work inspired
the last 50 years of aquatic productivity studies. Historical
aspects are discussed together with thought-provoking assessments
of modern technological approaches and where future research
emphasis should be focussed.
Phytoplankton Productivity provides, in one book, cutting
edge reviews and key facts on the subject, making it a vital
information source for marine and freshwater biologists,
oceanographers, ecologists, environmental scientists and plant
scientists. Copies should also be available in libraries of any
research establishment and university as a reference for students,
wherever these subjects are studied and taught.
