Structure of phytoplankton communities in Barents Sea, 2003
Entry ID: KPDC_SOPCIBS_2003

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: In order to grasp the structure of the primary production and phytoplankton communities, chlorophyll-a were measured at 39 stations and phytoplankton communities at 10 stations during the period from August 9 to August 21, 2003 in the Barents Sea. The concentration of total, microphytoplankton, and nano-picophytoplankton chlorophyll-a were higher at middle layer than those of surface and bottom. ... View entire text

Purpose: 1) To investigate on biodiversity, species composition, standing crops and dominant species of phytoplankton communities in the Barents Sea
2) To study on taxonomic research and indicator species of phytoplankton communities
3) To reveal a relationship between chlorophyll-a and phytoplankton standing crops based on phytoplankton communities

Use Constraints If you wish to use this data set as a mask for LGM simulations, please cite
Prentice et al. (1993) as the source. Please note, there is new data which
suggests that the extent of these lakes may have been somewhat smaller than
implied by the information given in Kvasov (1975a, 1975b). A new data set is
currently being prepared and will be included on this website in the near
future.
